Maybe a TSA complaint model would be safer to take?<br /><br />In any case, I would only include only if the child is trusted by YOU to properly use the tools included.<br /><br />Thank you Ferfal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-59681730848089177492015-05-27T18:04:33.693-07:002015-05-27T18:04:33.693-07:00A couple of suggested additions:
