[LCA2015-Chat] [Chat] Flying with soldering irons

[David Go]

I see lots of mention of Jaycar flying around, but for those cheapskates among us, Surplustronics on Upper Queen Street is both closer and cheaper - and despite the name they carry mainly new stuff now.    Although I imagine they don't have quite the range of stuff that Jaycar carry, for soldering irons and cables they are probably a better choice - which is not to say this kind of gear is cheap in NZ.

(I've no particular affiliation to them, save that they are convenient to where I work, which is close to Uni)

Cheers,
David

Knitting needles are frequently confiscatedwhich would fall into a similar "pointy (but not really)" objectcategory. I wouldn't be taking one as carry on because all ittakes is a grumpy security agent to end up losing it, no matterwhat the actual rules are.

Stephen Walsh: Today included that moment where someone said "Wait, you're 
*that* Steve Walsh? You are way calmer than the company doco makes you 
seem"
Gabriel Noronha: I always assumed there was a community service video in the 
staff induction about 
you...
Anthony Towns: [UTF-8?]‎"Have you recently found yourself set on fire? Perhaps 
you're bleeding from unusual places? If so you may benefit from learning to 
SWEAR -- Steve Walsh: Enrage, Apologise, Run 
away."
