Ever wonder why your carry on gets searched

[Bearded Diver]

I had to disassemble my rig going through Beijing and show the inspector how everything worked. I think it was more for him than security.
Oddly enough going through Amman, Jordan the guy just looked at the screen and said "Scuba" while giving me a thumbs up.
On another note, I went through London Heathrow with my bagpipes years ago and had guns leveled at me as they went through the x-ray. But that was right after Lockerbea.

So I assume you carry a small wrench in your carry on? Never traveled with any dive gear other han my reg, TIA.

I have flown 6X this year with all my gear in my carryon and I have been search 6X. It’s the regs and hoses each time. In Miami, they even called out what it was and confirmed it with me and said even though they know what it is, they had to pull it out and visually see it.

I one had the person running the video say, "Cool, I gotta see this!" This was in regard to my double hose....
