Really sorry to hear that mate,been there before myself!

Did they at least let you stick them in an envelope to post home,or were they confiscated?
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

Thanks for your support guys. Wave went  straight into there drop safe trash bin with my spotlight speck and tritium light. I could almost hear it calling out. Like when Darth Vader threw The Emperor over the railing in Episode 6. :facepalm: I think I was in shock for a while. :o Then I tried to negotiate about the PS. The guy seemd to take no pleasure in it. But before I knew it. It was gone. Really could have used the tools as well. Had a big run in witha prickle bush. But thats another story. Fortunately neither has significant sentemental value.

Really?  Even the tritium light?  What's the logic behind this?  There are so many tritium lights on men's watch, and it probably poses less threat than a cell phone battery... ::)

Hope you will the replacement soon.

In most of Europe you will be arrested if you are found with tritium on you, by the way.

You will need to prove that the quantity is below the levels that need a license, which will take time.

What amount are we talking about?  Because it is a common feature on men's watch, and I'm curious about this.  Will a small keychain get people into trouble?  Is that what the OP have at the US airport? :think: :pok:

US legislation is slightly different.

that is why you can buy these vials in the US, but you will not find them, to my knowledge, in EU shops.

The amount (activity or concentration) for exemption can be found in the new BSS of the EU COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2013/59/EURATOM

according to that for H3 (moderate amounts) - 
1 × 10 E6 kBq per kg  or
1 × 10 E9 Bq

It is a bit more complicated than that, but you will get an idea

I know how that felt:






Then later, you said to yourself:


The only bright side is that each time it happens, you get a little better at remembering.

My last trip out to CA to visit my sister, I brought two bottles of wine. Luckily they were quite affordable, at about $5 ea. Brought 'em in my carry-on and had to dump them.

But they know the system. We don't have time to go back and check them or mail them, then wait through the goddamn line again.

The worst part though? Later on, when we're browsing ebay, and see al the TSA-seized SAKs and MTs. That makes me feel like:

LM Wingman was $100 US in a big brand hardware store. Vic SAK's were pretty reasonable. But I left them there.

That's in the shopping mail/hardware stores in Kuta, Bali, right?  The local Vic distributor in Jakarta has probably been around for much longer time and doing a fair job distributing to the other parts of Indonesia.

I flew 4 times in Europe with the Style PS on my keys, dropped in the tray for scanning.  I have a blue trit on my keys aswel. No one ever cared.
Sorry you lost your gear.

Yeah I think I have done the same with a Micra. Like I said I think it was the liquids that worried them. Subseqently they rescanned many times.
