Hi. This might sound strange at first sight, but I am actually concerned about me traveling through the USA on my way to Managua carrying a braille display. When I flew to Bordeaux two years ago I was trapped at security in Lyon for approx. half an hour because the personell there believed I was carrying explosive material. This led to them actually fetching a special security guy who ended up fetching a dog to assert that my "strangely looking device" was not a bomb.
If french people are already making such a fuzz I am really concerned about the USA. My braille display is quite expensive, so giving it up on some boarder is actually definitely not an option. Since I have never passed through USA (on purpose) in the past, I am quite concerned. Does anyone have experience with US airports and "strange looking devices". Is there perhaps some way I can ensure that I don't loose my €6.600,- device on my way to Managua due to silly overcautious security? -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang/k...@db.debian.org : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
