Thank you, Peter, for this N.Y.Times story. But something is strange with that story: why was the trumpet case on the luggage belt ? Hand luggage is not on any luggage belt except the very short belt through the x-ray-machine.
I just can repeat here, curing symptoms is the wrong way, as one must look for the source of the illness first. ============================================================ ================================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2006 9:40 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Air travel with your axe redux Well, this topic hasn't been hashed over on this list for at least a day or two, so I guess it's time to revisit once again by inviting you to follow the link to today's NY Times online: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/10/nyregion/10musician.html I can't say that I totally sympathize with one side or the other in this one. It looks like undue force and precipitate action on the part of the security but I have to image that Ponomarev might have taken other measures to keep his instrument with him. Of course, I wasn't there, so I'm probably wrong on both accounts. Not flying anywhere for the time being and glad for that, Peter Hirsch _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans%40pizka. de _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
