So, I am packing my clothes and things for my flight tomorrow morning bound for Ct after spending the summer here in Idaho. I shiped my turner a week ago in two bike boxes, one for the bike and the other for the front fork and wheel and other bike related parts (spares and gear). Anyways, while packing my clothes I discover that my spare romic double D shock some how found its way into my underwear drawr. Anyways, will the TSA confiscate the shock or inspect my bag for 'suspicious objects' if I pack it? The shock is under nitrogen pressure but they probably dont know that... however last year they confiscated my lithium grease and stan sealant. Id hate to throw out my spare shock...

I guess I could just leave it here in Idaho... Any one know of any 05 fox DHX shocks blowing?

ask when you check your bags i guess. declare it and maybe they won't take it.

I would pull out my ghat.....and blaht blaht lay them bastards out on the floor. And walk my pretty ass right on to the plaine with shock in tote.

just leave it in your bag and play dumb if questioned. highly doubt they'd care.

 

[MMike]

put it in your pants, and act really smug...

tell them it's a penis pump.

safest is to leave it behind. you could try taking it in but theres a chance they just take it from you and that doesn't sound too appealing. some airports have mail back kiosks that you can put stuff in big envelopes and pay a whole bunch and it just ships it home for you. my vote is just hope the dhx lasts.

if you check the bag you wont have a problem. also no Carmex in your carry on. you should also check drug bottles like aspirin etc.
if it's not clothes, books or electronic's, i'd check it.

It shouldn't be a problem in checked baggage, but I wouldn't try to bring it aboard in a carry-on.

best thing to try to get through security are clipless pedals. has thrown up a red flag every time I've brought them on the plane (riding clothes, helmet, pedals and shoes come with me, everything else can get lost for all I care :biggrin: ), including last year's interbike. going out was a long procedure, but coming back afterwards it went sort of like this at the screening table:

screener - stops the conveyer belt at my bag, stares intently, calls the boss over.

boss - "oh yeah, those are pedals, something about them attaching to shoes. we've seen a whole bunch of those today..."

i ve only heard about the first generation of dhx blowing up (did it twice)...but the new ones are very reliable
