[Kenwood] H/T Security Problems?

Thu, 24 Jul 2003 11:36:09 -0400

I went throught the same kinda problem. I had my TK-380 on a carry-on and
the charger in the luggage. They had no problem with the carry-on but TSA
loved going through my luggage. But come to find out if you have Sketcher
shoes they have a metal bar in them for support. and they have to check
them. So just dont wear shoes with metal in them.
