The dogs LOVE your gambeson. Also your sox. If you're lucky they 
won't eat your shoes.

Now, if you're carrying anything they might consider a weapon, like a 
hockey stick, you'll have a really interesting time. Luckily, most of 
that will have to go in the checked baggage because of the size if 
for no other reason. (Seriously, what used to pass as "sporting 
equipment" may now be considered "weapons." That's how they now treat 
baseball bats)

Some of the dogs will react if you have any food in your bag 
(including spills), or if you allow a live animal to sleep on (or, 
better, scent mark) your bag.
