Re: Flying with a guitar... or not

Well, back in the USA finally, and the laptop to be the nerve center of the 
rack unit is gotten.

The trip was not without incident!  I had to put the Strat through special 
handling because the ramps on Virgin Atlantic couldn't handle the length. 
When I got to Orlando, went to special handling to pick up Cthulhu, and the 
poor fella had taken a header out of the cargo bay, 30 feet or more onto the 
tarmac!  Case shattered on the corner,  dire fears as to the guitar's state. 
He's okay!  Went to a guitar repair specialist in Jacksonville, and there 
was nothing wrong.  Virgin Atlantic's buying me a new case.  Grrr.  Scary 
for a day or so though.

Lol! But isn't it quite common to use "carrier agents" that doesn't
know they are used as a carrier? Someone hiding something inside an
innocent person's luggage to have it transported with minimal risk
taking (for the criminal).
