It is a "definitional" thing :-) I am aware of the devices that you mention. I also know that none of them are the sort of thing you would casually walk into a hotel with. Actually, it's *exactly* the sort of thing I've walked into hotels with. Much smaller and lighter, actually. Put it in a road case with wheels, and it'll fit quite nicely on an elevator ("it's medical equipment"). I've brought multi-hundred-pound radiation therapy machines into hotel rooms for shows with no comment. Nor would sending the device "air freight" be such a bright idea. Why not? I've drop-shipped thousand-pound boxes of stuff with nobody blinking an eye. Hell, we had them fly a 1200 pound road case full of steel plates from Orlando to Las Vegas. Not all airports have explosive detectors or x-ray machines for airfreight. And if you're really worried about that part, ship it by bus or train. -- cirby at cfl.rr.com Remember: Objects in rearview mirror may be hallucinations. Slam on brakes accordingly. |
