Brass - funny!

The bags were checked. As for locks (or string, or zipties, or whatever you might use to keep your bags secure)I've heard horror stories of agents cutting the cloth of locked bags. Delta specifically told us NOT to lock them for just that reason.

I was cautioned about bringing any type of screw top fuel bottles, even if packed open, empty, and with the tops removed. Agent said explosives sniffer dogs or devices might hit on the smallest bit of residual fuel - even if the bottle is completely dry inside. I'm glad my My JetBoils (we packed 2) made it through with no problem - minus the canisters, of course. Those I purchased at Cabela's upon arrival just outside SLC.

We shipped some gear home at the end our trip though, to reduce the hassle, and lighten the load.
