Same happened to me In Cologne, Germany about a month ago. They asked to actually see the lute, to make sure the screw was not removable in any way... Since that terrible day in 2001 the life of absolutely every traveller has become much MORE difficult. Luca [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 24/08/2006 15.38 wrote:

The security officials were grouped and conferring around the x-ray monitor looking at the big screw in the neck block. For a moment I was worried that they would only allow the lute onboard if I removed the screw from it!
