Travel and Vaping Atlanta/Baltimore Airports

[phish]

Just an FYI for all who may be flying through these airports. I was able to take my MVP/Protank/Ego setup in my pocket on the plane. I even got to vape away in the Budweiser lounge at ATL. Very nice. There were no problems and they never took a second look at them.

Don't be afraid to take your setup. Who knows, they may even be a curious smoker themselves...give them the basics if you aren't in a hurry. They may take the message home and try it out themselves.

I just got back from Atlanta and a TSA agent there had apparently never seen eGo batteries before. I got held up as she dumped every single thing out of my backpack to find what she told me after the fact she thought were bullets. How an eGo battery can be mistaken for a bullet, I have no idea. But that's what she thought they were. When she located them among my things, she showed them to another agent who instantly told her they were okay and I was sent on my way with my bin of belongings.

I've flown several times with ecig batteries (including eGo batteries) in my personal carryon bag and never had a problem, but this TSA agent said I should've had them out of my bag and placed in plain view in the bin.

That's weird. Maybe they didn't say anything since I had my spare egos in my pocket.
