Gear that makes TSA grumpy? (Aka "what gear to check?")

[Singletrack]

I sent my pack and gear via UPS to the Hostel in Millinocket. You could do the same by sending it to the Hostel in Dahlonega.

I always carry a small Victorinox to the airport - one with no knife blade - just to watch them try to figure out what to do with it.

Ain't hard to befuddle the TSA folks. I have a card that has "See other side" on both sides.

You can ship almost anything including iso propane canisters USPS as long as you ship it Parcel Post. It takes 4-7 days and costs a lot less than any other shipping method, as well. I have found that it usually takes closer to 4 days than 7. The difference is that it goes by truck, no plane involved.
