On another list I belong to, there's a discussion about computer bags and cases, and I introduced cameras and lenses into the equation, saying that I have a problem hauling my photo gear and my laptop together when using a Pelican 1510. Someone suggested a Pelican 1660, but I replied that that was too big for carry-on, because I never check photo gear.
An interesting post was this: ----------- Some advice based on my wife's comments. She's a baggage claims supervisor for a major airline. Make your bag look different. Stupid different. Paint the wheels purple. Wrap the handle with a barber pole pattern of yellow and blue tape. Whatever. The biggest reason for truly missing bags, both checked and carry-on, is that they all look alike. Make sure yours doesn't look like the rest and that you can easily spot it. They tends to prevent accidental pickups by others and allows you to see someone "walking off" with it. Either at a baggage claims area or in the security checkpoints. ------------- -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
