Recent Trip Experience: Seattle--NOT allowed to follow case to inspection (arrived NYC OK); Newark followed case to Xray (right on the same floor as ticketing in some airports)and offered to help open and repack if they needed to open it. Guy looked at the screen long and hard--then said it wasn't necessary to open it up. So I left happy. When it arrived Seattle two strings were busted and it obviously had been opened and (badly) repacked with my carefully padded bar, unpadded and rattling around. [yikes!] Only solution is to continue the strategies in this string. Try to help with opening, note to inspectors, add some sort of strap on handle to lift it out, and now I am going to think about trying to make the packing as simple as possible, so that when the repack the changes of messing up are reduced. Bar and picks, etc I'll pack elsewhere. ------------------
