Re: Taking a Clarinet on an airplane

TSA is definitely NOT all knowing. When things first got hairy years ago, my wife was held up for a half hour in going back and forth about the "scissors" in her bag. The TSA would not (I have no idea why) go into the bag, nor show my wife what they were looking at on the x-ray. They just keep saying something to the affect,"Ma'am, just tell us where you have the scissors." It turned out to be an eye-lash curler.

On the clarinet front, I've travelled with my single case a bunch of times completely oblivious to the screw drivers and x-acto blades in the storage compartment........and TSA was oblivious as well. Go figure.

Though I'd NEVER recommend trying this on purpose! TSA always takes my key fob swiss Army knife (I've had at least four taken from me so far).
