[Leica] Monopod in Carry-on Luggage

[don.dory at gmail.com (Don Dory)]

Hi, Tina.  My wife routinely travels with a walking stick that conveniently
had a ball head that screws off to reveal a 1/4x20 thread stud.  Also, most
of the time I travel with a Gitzo carbon travel tripod in carry on.  Never
had an issue on this side of the pond.
