Packing for Defcon:Not wanting the TSA to give me a colonoscopy.

[tkrabec at gmail.com (Tim Krabec)]

I've carried my picks in checked luggage for a few years I know of

As for electronics if you carry on make sure you put them on the xray  
belt in the boxes. Ive not checked anything but my mixer and microphones
