Or that someone removed the fire extinguisher? Remember the jet that crashed in the Florida everglades a few years ago. Apparnetly an oxygen bottle being transported in the cargo hold blew its top and the plane crashed. A pressurized fire extinguisher, especially one with a plastic nozzle could / might do the same. So was the luggage lost? Or just the bottle? You might clarrify that to the list.

You can beg, buy, or borrow most tools anywhere, but try to find a water pump for a 1978 Alfetta on a Saturday morning in Davenport Iowa. Bring your cell phone and AAA card.

Taking a cross country car trip soon - CA to FL - and was wondering what I might be able to carry on the plane with me on the way to CA. I know sharp pointy things like screwdrivers would be out, but what about wrenches, sockets, wirestrippers, sidecut pliers, etc? Anybody done this recently?
