I wrote \non the tube \"Amateur radio portable antenna (HAM RADIO)\" I found the TSA checking card in my suitcase and the electrical tape i put to \nsealed the cap where still there they don't even open the tube.\n\nFor the carry on it is another story it is 100% sure that i will be put on the side table to have my carry on checked read suitcase \ncompletely open with all the carefully stowed stuff put out on the table to be sniffed by the electronic nose and explain in details to the \nTSA agent who is normally not too easy in public relation...\n\nIf things seems to get worse just ask to speak his officer in charge. TSA have complaint forms that you can ask it is usually your last \ntool to try to speed up things but thoses trick should be used if you feel the TSA agent is going no where in his checking process aside of \nmaking you lost time.\n\nWays to suggest things to TSA agents: \"While you check my carry on can i speak to the officer in charge?\" Normally this is quite effective \nand Its is even written on http://www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/civilrights/travelers.shtm here is an excerpt:\n__________________________________________________________________________________________\nDuring travel: While you are still at the checkpoint, you can ask to speak with a supervisor about the incident. You can also ask to speak \nwith the Customer Service Manager for the airport. Depending on the time of day during which you are traveling or the size of the airport, \nthe Customer Service Manager may not be readily accessible to you at the airport.\n\nAfter traveling: You may contact the External Compliance Division of TSA's Office of Civil Rights and Liberties to file a complaint.\n\nOur mailing address is:\n\n Transportation Security Administration\n Office of Civil Rights and Liberties (TSA-6)\n External Compliance Division\n 601 S. 12th Street\n Arlington, VA 20598 \n\nOur email address is:\n\n [email protected] \n\nOur new complaint form is under construction. Soon you will be able to complete and submit your complaint online.\n\n___________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nAnother link of interest\n\nhttp://www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/civilrights/no_fear.shtm\n\n\nMy last advice don't jammed pack you carry on if the TSA agent is facing a lightly pack luggage he is \"usually\" more \"happy\" to do his \njob... and things are going normally quite fast but when he have to dig through underwear socks and so on things to get to your radio cable \nplugs earphone apparatus he's a bit less smily and rule number one don't speak just answer his questions with short answers and always look \nat him during his checking operation.\n\nMaking him feel he's making you loosing precious time is also not recommended as they have a job to do it is better not to interfere but \nused your own judgement if you feel he's over-zealous. \n\nI stumble on a \"big\" TSA women in New York JFK who was checking over an over a stand HT charger and the battery packs\nasking a lot of stupid questions about theses items. It escalate to the \"Can i speak to the officer in charge\" the TSA women was not \npleased with my request (Look on her face) but she quickly ended up the checking process saying \" It's OK do you still want to speak to the \nofficer.. i reply no it's Ok also for me she turned back on move away.\n\nP.S. Metal tent spike used as anchored post to hold your antenna supporting pole are also the best way to go on the side table at the \nchecking point just put them in your checked luggage.\n\nHappy flight and next time i will tell you my experience using a portable scanner and a GPS aboard...my wife commenting at the end of this \naffair \"Next time i will take a seat 10 row away of you i will have an embarrassment free flight...\" Just read my hamming is tolerated just \nup to an certain threshold point.\n\n\"-\"\n\n\nLuc Leblanc VE2DWE\nSkype VE2DWE\nwww.qsl.net/ve2dwe\nDSTAR urcall VE2DWE\nWAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE\n\n \n\n", "attachments": [] }
