Malcolm Stewart Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I'm thinking of taking my HiMD MiniDisc plus battery box, Headbanger Amplifier etc. to Italy and am wondering whether the obvious wires, "black boxes" etc. will be too much for airline security checks. Obviously, I'd remove the 9V batteries, but MiniDisc isn't as common as an Ipod and I'm wondering whether not to bother? Previously I've carried camera equipment with no problems, but that was before recent security incidents.Any recent experience - either way? European airlines?Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roamer Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I was travelling during Easter to Norway with two MDs, mics, pre-ampli, batteries, wires without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciditystudios Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 if I were you, I would separate the md unit itself from the wires and battery box, put the wires and batteries and sich in your stow, and take the MD and the mic, and headphones with you on the plane.-ezra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I have traveled from New York City to London (Virgin Atlantic) and Paris (I forget) with MD, microphones, battery module, attenuator, headphones, headphone amplifier (plain tin box with switch on it, very suspicious looking), CD player, half a dozen minidiscs, laptop computer, AC computer adapter, USB cable, LAN cable, wireless card, cell phone, cell phone AC adapter, AA batteries and probably other electronics and never had a problem with security. The same for at least a dozen flights a year in the domestic USA. If they ask questions, plug in your headphones and play them a song, but no one has asked me yet.

Malcolm Stewart Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Many thanks to all who've replied. All I have to do is to find some music festivals worth visiting whilst we're there. I think we're going about 2 weeks too early for those listed on the web, but with luck we'll find some local ones and perhaps cowbells in the Dolomites.
