[Shop-talk] Fly-n-drive question

[Eric J Russell]

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.
