Bouldering Pad National Security Alert

I got some funny looks and inquiries at the airport the other day as I carried my bouldering pad slung on my shoulder. I guess TSA was also concerned as I had this notice of inspection inside the pad upon arriving home. Ha ha ha! I bet they had no idea what it was used for and were probably sorely disappointed to open it up and just see a picture of a hand drawn phoenix on a foam pad.

    Classic!
    thankfully, we don’t get that issue here in Europe…..yet :)
    Only ice axes and crampons cause problems.

    wow. maybe the people searching bags were lazy and wanted an easy item to search.
