I have a friend (fully outfitted+) who checks everything and has noted that her scuba bag is consistently searched by TSA (vs. her other luggage). Has that been anyone else's experience?
Yes. Always. The TSA folks have told me that their machines have trouble with the rubber fins, which means that the bag must be hand searched.
