Rich,

Ok, I deserve that one.  I guess I was the only one that thought Phil =
was taking "loaded" tanks onto the plane.

If that is the case, then I know of no regulation that would prohibit =
it.  No different than taking any item that is harmless.  The reason why =
I am so sensitive to that issue, is that I am told many divers try to =
sneak full tanks aboard the scheduled flights.

In all probability nothing would happen, but why take a change.

Flame on, I deserve it!

Sorry Phil,  I misread your note.  I was under the impression that you =
were sneaking the tanks.
