Dale's www.mbd2.com Update New Theme - Polar Bear Club Entertainer's Tip 9 - Electric
Balloon Pumps and Airport Security I arrived at the Airport 2 hours early, expecting a hassle about the electric balloon pump. I approached the check-in-counter and informed the check-in-clerk that I was an entertainer and I had an electric pump, with two NiCad batteries enclosed in my case, and that I was going to carry this lounge on the plane. Could she provide me a Security Certificate so I can get through security? "You want a what?" said the check-in-clerk. I explained how I contacted the Airlines and what they had told me. The check-in-clerk call the supervisor for scanning over to see if they new what this Certificate was all about. He explained that he has never heard of this Certificate that all you need to do is when you reach security, simply tell them that you are an entertainer, you have an electronic balloon pump and batteries in your bag and they will x-ray the bag. So on I went. When I arrived at the security x-ray station, I informed the guard that I was an entertainer going to Kentucky and I had a balloon pump with batteries. She said okay, and simply x-rays the bag. I on the other hand had to go through the metal detector twice, get waved by the wand, and had to take off my shoes, because the alarms kept ringing. The Security guard did have to open my bag to see what was behind the pump, because the x-ray tech could get a good reading, but other than that I was through security with no problems. On the way back to Chicago, I informed the guards again that it was a balloon pump. No problem, they simply x-rayed the bag, while I again sat in a chair and had the wand wave around me. I did have balloon inside the pump just encase I had to demonstrate the pump. However, that was not needed. So if you're traveling with a balloon pump, just kindly tell security that you're an entertainer with a pump and you should have no problems. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
