If that's a true story then it's shocking. For a properly trained operator a rubber rocket should not arouse the slightest suspicion and a bag should never be taken away and searched it should be done in front of you! Have flown literally dozens of times with mine and nobody has ever been interested!
ARTIC BUTTERFLY themselves have a advisory up not to use them on certain sensors including canon 1d series ones plus some others so care is needed whatever method you choose ,theres no one size fits all cureJim you are a real gentleman by not having a go at me, thank you. We all have our ways of doing things and the best way is whatever one is comfortable doing. Yes a rocket blower is the cheapest but quite often the cheapest way of doing things is not always the best way. OK a Loupe and Artic Butterfly with everything else is no way cheap by any means, but once owning them they will last a life time.
Originally i did use a blower but going through customs with it on the xray it looked like a hand granade so the bag was taken away and searched, and rightly so.
