TSA will not like the screwdrivers at least. Either check with their web site, or take the stuff to a local airport and see what they say. Paying for new stuff in Houston would cost you more than wh

It's been my experience that any tool or replacement part carried in the car will not be needed. I'd recommend a cell phone, a credit card, and a cooler full of food and beverage. If a breakdown mea
