[HANASHIR:14259] Carrying instruments on airplane flights. [Fwd: [SummerSongs] Musicians take notice..]

[Ros Schwartz <ros_schwartz...>]

 From another musicians email list ... I thought this might be of 
interest to the Hanashir group, especially with Hava Nashira 2003 around 
the corner ...

See you there, perchance?

Good news for musicians!

The American Federation of Musicians (AFM) has negotiated with the
Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) to secure the right for 
musicians to carry on their instruments on airline flights.

They recommend that we print a copy of the letter of agreement and carry 
it with us, being prepared to show it to security personnel should there 
be a problem. Below is a link to the AMF page. Go to that page, and 
click on "here" to download a copy of the agreement in Adobe Acrobat Format.

or if that doesn't work, try

This is long overdue, I'm sure you'll agree.
Might be a good time to buy stock in "Reunion Blues".

Anyway, hope you find it helpful - travel safely!

Best wishes, Penny
