This is another section of H.R.1586 -- Aviation Safety and Investment

Read below and answer this question - should I get a suitcase that is
like an instrument cast or when traveling should I use my violin case or
guitar case to pack my clothes in so I do not get charged? Just things
to ponder that become a part of legislation that our Senator and
Congressmen/women debate about.
