Just thought I'd write re a funny experience with the Powerball. I brought one for my hubby as a suprise for Xmas, however, we were going overseas, so I wrapped it up and kept it in my hand luggage, low and behold, the security scanners picked it up and in the XRay machine, of which they put it through quite a few times it looks like a bomb!! Luckily they finaly let us through without blowing it up!

Thanks Cassie! We have had some emails on this same experience in the past also - it seems as if the little guys look like small grenades when packed in the luggage like this!
Our tip is that you carry it on as hand luggage and keep him near the top of the bag so that when you are [inevitably] asked what it is you can whip him out and give them all a quick demo...don't forget to let 'em all have a go and give them the website address too! :-)
