[QUOTE="soundspawn, post: 270865, member: 7962"] I believe this will be the third time I have answered this question. No. I give you literally a 0% increased chance of success. You could bring a notarized letter signed by the CEO of the airline along with a photo of him handing it to you while shaking your hand, and it would not increase your chances one bit. Not only could the TSA shut you down, but the people boarding you could not believe your documentation, not care, or feel it violates policy. Even if there was a specific guideline in their manual that said "All mantids are fine" they could either believe the guideline is outdated, not think a dead leaf mantis is a mantid, or not be aware of the guideline (and why trust your paperwork?). Again it won't matter who's right, because you'll be the one who has to leave your mantis behind and/or miss your flight. Your only two options are to find another way to get him to Oregon or take your (imo very poor) chances that *can not* be improved no matter what you do. I do not think I can emphasize this enough, and I'm sorry it's obviously not what you want to hear, but you shouldn't just keep asking until you get a different answer. [/QUOTE]
