| Post subject: | Money Belts? |
Has anyone ever used a money belt? Any problem going thru airport screening? For a while TSA was making you remove your shoes and belts. The last thing I want is for a money belt to go off and having to pull it out in front of everyone. Thanks! |

I use two. A real belt made of nylon and a plactic buckle with a zip compartment for three bills. http://www.rei.com/product/3839.htm?vca ... TRAVEL_TOC A second money pouch around my neck, again of nylon so it too is not magnetic. http://www.rei.com/online/store/Product ... TRAVEL_TOC Normally the TSA does not make me remove my non metallic belt, and it clears the magnetic inspection "arch". |

I use a money belt that I bought from Rick Steves Travel a couple of years ago. Very lightweight and holds enough without being obvious or uncomfortable. http://travelstore.ricksteves.com/ |

Just go right threw airport security. Don't take it off. The little zipper won't set off any metal detecters. |

You have to be kidding me, money belts? Do you bring your fanny pack with you as well? |

Jmac - For a variety of reasons, a lot of guys bring what they expect to spend in cash. For transporting large sums (under $10,000 of course) I would prefer to have it secured on my person rather than stashed in my carry-on. Once the boots are on the ground there is no reason to carry more money than I need for food and drinks as I do my mongering in my lair where the safe is...

I gave a moneybelt to my elderly mother. She was afraid that someone would snatch her pocketbook, which she now doesn't have to carry. |

I straight up just carry the cash on me until I get to the hotel safe. My first trip I rolled thru the airport with 5k. It wasn't an issue at all. Cujo |
