Can I bring these on a plane??

I'm not an Arab, but can look somewhat intimidating at times, which sets off all sorts of wheels of suspicion when people look at me. When I went to Disney World on Vacation a few years ago, I carried my camera to take pictures of my kids.

All of my close friends here know I pack a high-end camera, and lots of lenses in my "carry-on" The TSA agent, a young (maybe 23 year old body builder) big strapping guy down in Florida could not get my 210mm Zoom lens back into its protective case.

He said: "I don't know how to get this thing back on!"

I replied, "Officer, it's like a condom, just pull it down over the cap and roll it the rest of the way."

Everyone of his buddies busted out laughing and the guy turned red as a beet. Needless to say, he handed me the lens and said: "Here, you do it, NEXT!"

So unless you can pull that off Khalid, ship the damn thing.
