Really, I have met only helpful, polite TSA people in my last several flights, but it is pretty funny to watch their faces when you try to fly with a small mixing board and many, many cables in your carry-on.
You can see them thinking, Hmmm, black plastic box covered with dials, surrounded by black cabling, I wonder if we should take a second look here. “Um, ma’am? Could you please step over to our ‘special’ area? Ma’am? Over here please.”
Yeppers. Flew into Tampa today to start a couple of weeks of promotion and concerts for the new album release with just a little family downtime in between. Should be fun – at least it’s not 12 degrees like it is at home!!
