I have been at a client for a couple of days near LA, today I have decided that I need a new Jack Pad for my car (I cannot find any of the two that I must have somewhere) so I placed a Will-Call order with Pelican, on my way to the airport I went to pickup the Jack Pad.

After waiting a little bit over 40 minutes at the security line (lines where huge today for the SouthWest/America West terminal at LAX) the TSA screenner want to see 'the piece of steel' I show to him explain what it is, goes to his boss and says 'nope, you cannot fly with that, you need to go check-in that' .. obviously the idea of another 40 minutes security line was not very appealing and I said 'toss it' and went to catch my flight.

Right behind me and elderly gentlemen did not had any problems 'passing the exam' with a cane.

Moral of the story .. not sure there is one.. but if you have a friend at the TSA on Terminal 1 you may get a Jack Pad for a good price.

Now going to place another order for a Jack Pad.
