Thanks a lot, TSA! Warning to those who travel with valuable/fragile items.
After coming home from traveling in Mexico for 6 months, I got a big surprise from the TSA. I have taken at least 6 flights with 2 of these Dell 27" Ultrasharp U2715Hc monitors before this flight with no problems. I pack a thick layer of soft clothing first on the bottom of my luggage (one monitor per large luggage bag), then lay the monitors flat with screens facing down to clothing with a towel covering the screen. I never pack anything solid below the screens.
The TSA agent rummaged through and repacked my luggage with this microphone underneath the screen. Your presence has been felt, thanks. Remote Office Setup Before: Happy Holidays everyone!!! |

If the TSA had repacked the luggage the way I had, it would have been fine. I have taken at least 6 flights with these before. This is the first time the TSA inspected my luggage. This wasn't for a weekend trip. I lived in Mexico for 6 months before this flight.

I never check luggage. I met up with LAJ in Burbank last year - He was a week and a half trip and I was on a four day trip. I had a huge suitcase and he had a small carry on. That's when I decided I needed to pack lighter.
When I travel I roll with a small 17" AOC monitor... USB, super small... I always carry it in my carry on luggage. I never check luggage this point. In fact... Here is my Microsoft Surface and my monitor in a hotel room some place....

a friend of mine moved to Hungary last month and checked two giant pcs so he can render there. i thought that was pretty crazy. i've lived and worked all over the world. i never bring more than a laptop and some drives. monitors are a couple hundred bucks at most. 22" are under $100 now. i have 6 monitors on my desk and i'm moving next year. it would be cheaper to pack them, but also a huge pain in the ass. i have other priorities, like not hauling 6 big ass monitors all over the world lol sorry to derail your TSA rant

Now that I thought about it. If any of you have large, fragile electronics to ship, buy a pelican case for it (see Single Lid Case Size Chart | Pelican Professional ).
I have one and it's great. There's no way a fucker can mis-package it since the compartment will be pre-cut-out. It's like $500 for one but, depending on the price of your equipment, it might be worth it. (Note, check the check-in weight limit for your flight. The case and equipment might be over the weight limit of some airlines). For me, I just use Duet (an iOS/Mac app) and an iPad as a second screen for my laptop. Best solution ever. |
