UPS destroyed a boat anchor for me, packed in it's own military shipping
crate. Unbelieveable. Ken

I just got email from a guy who checked a 90+ pound military boatanchor as

a

piece of LUGGAGE on a flight from the UK to the US. This was some time

ago,

so apparently he wasn't charged for the extra weight.

I'm amazed that it survived, even if packed in a box. Can you imagine the
bang when that thing came rocketing down the conveyors?!

It seems that most military gear should be designed to take some extra hard
abuse. I just would not want my luggage at the bottom of the chute when it
came sliding down!!
