Well, I have to admit I have apparently forgotten that I retrieved this one form Missouri's first [;(]. Anyway, I can proudly report that the first step towards Europe has been completed successfully: I passed security at PHX (Sky Harbor Airport). Step 2 will be to pass security once again in the UK. Putting it in the checked luggage would be an extra 70 bucks for making British Airways fill in all the papers.
Wish me luck in Heathrow.
