Flying with K2

I carry two things which (so far) have always avoided hassles.

1.  The equipment manual(s), and
2.  My FCC license.

  At the time in question, I was an FCC Field Supervisor and
  showing my credentials seemed to quiet them down.  Remember,
  these were contract low-wage security guards, not TSA
  employees.
