I hope you don't go through that, but just be ready to take apart your bag to prove its equipment only.

thats weird...ive traveled to costa rica, new zealand, and all across the US and have never been asked twice about my gear...but i have heard of this happening, and they also may do a swab check for explosive residue.
in fact, a guard in NZ complimented me on my sigma 10-20 lol
