For anyone following the news, specifically travel news, a plan to blow up a
plane in the UK bound for the US was stopped. Travel security is extremely
high at the moment, specifically in regards to carry-on luggage... and I
move from Detroit to Amsterdam on Tuesday. I'll have 2 large suitcases with
all my "stuff" and was going to be carrying on my bass clarinet, clarinets,
and my laptop backpack. I've had no problems carrying on the backpack and BC
before, and with the musician's union agreement in regards to instruments,
figured I could get my sopranos on without much problem. But now, I have a
feeling I'll be hassled, and I really, really, REALLY don't want to check my
horns or computer. Any suggestions for a course of action?
