And I think there was the story of Leonard Rose at one point going through
airport security.

Wanting to make sure his cello made it onto the plane, when asked what type
of instrument it was and knowing cellos weren't allowed, he replied "It's an
oboe."

Reportedly, they checked their list and saw that oboes were allowed. He was
allowed to take it right onto the plane. LOL
