<font size="2">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.
<br>
<br>(I've no particular affiliation to them, save that they are convenient to where I work, which is close to Uni)

<br>> If I remember correctly, I've seen a
persons
soldering iron been confiscated at security (I believe it was
a
previous LCA?). Knitting needles are frequently
confiscated
which would fall into a similar "pointy (but not really)"
object
category. I wouldn't be taking one as carry on because all
it
takes is a grumpy security agent to end up losing it, no
matter
what the actual rules
are.

you arrive.

If you get into NZ 30 minutes before the miniconf,
then
find someone you know who is getting there early and
ask
them nicely to pick you up a
set.

Ya, I'd wondered about that too.

If it allows it, removing the tip is probably
a
reasonable step - less likely to be damaged
and
makes it look less iffy on an x-ray.
