| I'm going to be flying from Calgary to Comox airport this weekend, and then back to Calgary via Vancouver airport. I've taken my photography equipment with me to Québec before, but I didn't bring Pocket Wizards. Does anyone have any experience with PWs in Canadian airports? I'm planning on bringing my camera equipment as carry-on luggage, and don't want them to think the PWs are some sort of detonators or something. Should I pack them in my luggage instead? |

As long as you duct tape one of them to a capped 18" section of 2" pipe and strap it to your chest, you should be just fine.

Don't pack it in your luggage, it'll be fine. Your carry-on is x-rayed. Sometimes camera equipment is swabbed to test for explosive material (mine was this past September at Pearson). You'll be through in seconds. Don't sweat it. |

Yeah, they swabbed my stuff at Québec City Airport, too. I was more worried that someone unfamiliar with photography would worry about the PWs. They are, after all, a bit suspicious-looking.
Thanks, Louis! |
