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

[Carl Karsten]

If you are travelling from the US, the rule for carry on is "no tools" and
you do not want to get into a debate about what is and isn't a tool, it is
like arguing with a troll.

If I liked my soldering iron enough that I wanted to bring it, I would
check it.
