    AIRPORTS AND EXCALIBUR QUESTION

    I am going to Florida soon and wanted some advice on how to take my Excalibur with me. Is it best to take it as a cary on? I am slightly afraid the security would try to open the sealed pod section of the unit and break it. I would be leaving from the Detroit airport. Any input would be appreciated.
