Climbing gear as carry-on baggage	9-Sep-2008 At 10:46:52 AM	Benno

I'm just wondering what people's recent experiences of carrying climbing gear as carry-on luggage have been like? On a recent trip back to Sydney from Perth I almost missed my flight and had to pay excess baggage costs after being forced to check in my carry-on luggage because it contained climbing gear (none of which was sharp or pointy, I'd even put my nut key in main luggage). Funnily enough, when I was flying from Sydney to Perth I was also asked to unpack my bag after it was x-rayed, but in that case the security officer had a look at my rack and then wished me well in my adventures. Have other people experienced this kind of inconsistency, does anybody know what the actual regulations relating to carry in luggage are?
