When I was a computer tech working in various class II and class III casinos
around the country, it was simply easiest to check a suitcase/bag with my tool
bag in it. They always went through my suitcase behind the scenes and even went
so far as to open my briefcase type tool bag to check inside but I never had
any issues with my tools checked with a suitcase.
I am pretty sure you won't be able to bring any tools onto the plane in a carry
on bag.
Someone said if the piece was less than seven inches it would be ok. Where did
this come from? Is this a new "relaxation" in the rules?

I vaguely recall that this was maybe discussed recently but that doesn't mean
I paid attention or remember the answers...
I am planning to fly to Houston, TX and drive a used car home to North
Carolina. (1981 Alfa Romeo GTV-6). I paid an Alfa-experienced mechanic in
Houston to do a pre-purchase inspection and the car has been deemed in good
shape and road-worthy.
So, here's my question: I'd like to take a few tools with me - wrenches,
screwdrivers, volt-ohm meter, spare fuses, etc. Will TSA fuss at me if I want
to take these in a carry-on bag?
My alternate plan is to box them up and mail them to the seller. Or stop at
Sears and buy what I might need before leaving Houston.
