I appreciate the advice on buying tools but you are not a professional, I am. with over 20 years of experience. And I won't use lousy tools, they are dangerous, inefficient and produce bad results even in skilled hands. If I were a chef worried about checking my "set-up", would you say get some knives at the local hardware store...

My original question was about security of the tools, TSA hassles at the airport etc.

So if someone has travelled with tools, post 9/11, please help me out.

Thanks again
