Carry on climbing gear @ Sydney Airport: problem 15-Jul-2006 At 9:54:05 AM Romfrantic

I once took a whole set of cams and some biners in my hand luggage while travelling from Frankfurt to here - should've seen the look on people's faces as my bags were x-rayed at every security check point. Lucky, didn't take much explaining to be allowed through (this was post 9-11 - quite surprised). Never really had a problem at Syd airport either, although I was only ever carrying one or two biners or bits that simply were too heavy to check in - BUT the one thing that we always get stopped for, are fuel stoves....to the point that we have to sign waivers saying that we've thoroughly cleaned and immersed in cooking oil, etc etc, blah, blah (only here and in NZ).
