Re: Taking the kits from Manchester on planes back to home base

Just a quick question: Will there be a problem when advisors take the kits from Manchester back to their home town by plane? I know a lot of those advisors are going by air to Manchester for kickoff.

Even back at last year's kick off there the air lines didn't allow the batteries on the plane... Are we going to face a more serious problem this year? Will FIRST be forced to ship the kits before kick off to teams via ground travel? Will there be less team representatives going because of this problem?
Based on my understanding of the new restrictions, they're being much tighter on mainly what can be carried onto the planes, with only a few new rules on what can be stowed. Considering that the only things in the kit that would have perhaps caused a hazard being stowed were the batteries, and that FIRST is (based on what I heard at the team forum) already looking at an alternate method of getting the batteries to the teams, I don't think stowing the kits as luggage for the trip back home will be an issue, especially if FIRST clears them with the airlines ahead of time. (Considering the problems with the batteries last year, I have a feeling they will...)
