United Airlines; 2000 world cup on the way back home. I had to spend another night in orlando because i missed my plane. I will never fly united airlines ever again; i don't care how cheap thier tickets could be in the future. In my opinion the people of United are lazy and uneducated about thier jobs.

The quote from them after they ask what was in the tote: "Paintball, you have co2 cartridges"

ahh what a hellish experience; don't fly united:
Best airline i have seen is Southwest: they seem the most understanding and educated and they usually actualy want to help you

From Bill Mills article
Players planning to travel by air are advised to check with their airline in advance to make sure all of their equipment can be transported. Due to changes in Transportation Safety Administration policy this year, all checked luggage as well as carry on is inspected by X-Ray, and possible hand search.

When I saw these machines being installed at PDX (Portland International Airport) I started wondering what the long term effects would be on traveling with your marker. Just wondering what other airlines people have had recent trouble with...
