I'd like to know this myself. Under the current post-Sept. 11 protocol and restrictions, I've almost decided to repurchase the basic supplies I need when I get to where I'm going. I have four times (pre-Sept. 11) shipped tubed oil paints internationally without challenge. I always removed ALL medium and solvent materials, and labeled the containers "Art materials - No solvents or flammables."
But, I've a feeling that that's going to get harder to do. And I don't want the hassle of having airport security confiscate the materials, in which case I'd wind up resupplying at both ends of the adventure. The placards pretty clearly say no guns, no knives, no paints. (And if you bring gum, you have to bring enough for everyone.) I've seen the rifles that the National Guardsmen are carrying in the airports these days. I'm leary of having to try to convince them that oil paint isn't paint.
A big risk-taker, I'm not,
Steven
