Owing to the general aggravation of traveling when someone else is driving or flying, I don't usually bring an instrument. But I am now officially "worried." I don't know all the histories of my instruments, and I don't have much documentation--various ages and not always bought from dealers. I do support efforts to avoid materials of endangered or tortured beings and plants. But before I would take anything anywhere where I might be "stopped" I would have to know somehow that I would be "safe."
