I had a business trip to Chicago, flying from Mexico last week so I decided to buy a set of bilstein B6 struits from ebay, to finish my project.
Little did I know TSA in the airport did not allow me to do that. My set of bilsteins was taken out of the bag at security screening in the airport and shown to me on the boarding gate asking me if the content was mine… I was given 5 days to collect them on the front airline counter, MY SUSPENSION!!!! I have a couple of friends who I think will get them for me carry them, to terminal 1, and have them shipped to down to Mexico, then carry on with their own trip back. But if it fails, I ran out of options! Any suggestions? (Airline Picture) I know, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) |

I was just in Chicago yesterday. Totally missed this. For all to know, if you want to move odd parts on an airplane, check them. You can take a gun on an airplane, as long as you declare it and check it. Of course you will not have access to it, but it's the only way to make sure it travels as TSA gets creative on what you can and can't take through. I once took a set of bumpers to a customer in LA, funny thing was they made me run them through the xray machine.
