"She's got a sword !!""
Traveling with fencing swords is a special piece of HELL. I lost two good foils to complete morons in Delta baggage handling (I know, a tautology). I had them in a nice padded case. They insisted I put the case in a 'gun box'. Ok, fine.
I got the box back. It was completely crushed... perhaps 2" high. It had tire tracks on the top AND the bottom.
Fortunately my seat mate was a lawyer. And since they lost his bag, he gave them (and me) his card. He got a bunch of new suits. I got new foils.
