Taking Pipes on an Airplane (my comments on my own experience)

We have a member of our band who works for TSA (the security dudes at the US airports). He was at band the other day telling everyone about some special training they just got on their scanners for recognizing bagpipes. I'd just gone up to Canada last week and took my pipes. They got checked, but I found out it was because of my Piper's Pal on my chanter. The guy took a quick look at it and let it go. I never take my maintenance stuff in my pipe case when I fly. Too much questionable stuff in there.
