[Shop-talk] Fly-n-drive question

[Pat Horne]

  Eric,

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 what the airline will 
charge for a checked bag. (I had to control myself with that last 
sentence, buying new stuff when you don't need it is a man's duty)!

Peace,
Pat
