There are links about TSA and kites etc ... but extremely outdated ...
... 9/11, ISIS, etc etc has increased the security SO TIGHT ...
I don't want to lose my kites and have them keep them forever !!!
We may be going to Kite Festival and stay in that area for a week at the end of June 2016 ... I can't wait to fly it at the beach.
... is all kites & accessories legally safe thru airport to airport in the USA in the year of Spring/Summer 2016 ?
Kites, Handles, Strings & Sleeves should be ok ? ... but no tools (like scissor, stakes. lighter etc are probably will be taken away at airport, will leave those at home)
What if they say "no carbon fiber rods" on the aircraft ?
I thought about using PVC, but it will definitely raise the heat, because it may looks like a "Airplane 2: The Sequel (7/10) Movie CLIP - Not A Buh, A Bomb (1982)"
I like the clear tube better than solid tube as a carry-on bag ... so, it won't looks like a Buh ...
Is it much better and much safer to mailing those kites to hotel and send it back home for lesser price (not breaking the rods and signature) ?
What do I need to know about flying kites at the beach ? ... I don't want to break the rules
I would like to know the "whole nine yards" about all those ... Thanks.
