Haha, if you remember the shape of our arm last year, it looked like a rifle in the ski bag. It took a little while to get through the security while they ran a bunch of tests on it.
That and the batteries. How many did we have??

Oh, and we carry zip ties for the totes. That way we can seal them after TSA has checked them.
