[LUTE] Instruments in the cooler?

2006-08-23 Thread Arne Keller
Dear all, I just heard that Pinchas Zuckerman was prohibited from taking his Strad along as hand luggage in an airport in Atlanta, for security reasons: The strings might be used as deadly attack weapons. Is this the end of free exchange of professional music? Has any lute player as of yet

it might be interesting to note that in a related subject on another list, someone reported having no trouble at all in transporting his oud on turkish airlines - simply because all concerned knew what it was. this could give rise to speciality airlines ... ancient aires airways ... tubaflot ...
