Hey All -
I have a trip coming up from the U.S. to Thailand where I'm finishing a studio install and it's the first time that I'm flying overseas with a toolset. I've traveled with midi gear and laptops, but never with soldering equipment, etc. Does anyone have any tips to avoid hassles and/or theft for this? I was thinking of packing a pelican-style case and putting it inside a suitcase. I'm bringing basic soldering tools (iron, solder, desoldering pump, small lighted magnifier, side cutters, pliers, driver set, handheld multimeter, and the like) and also a laptop interface and measurement mic as carryon. Right now it all fits in a backpack. I was even thinking of putting a "biohazard" sticker or something on the pelican case to discourage tampering. I suppose I could lock the case, too, but that might also arouse curiosity.
Any suggestions to alleviate some headaches would be appreciated!
