I really have no idea what you're talking about.
but I think I can go one better, "My name is PAXboy and I have been carrying a smoke hood on all flights for nearly ten years. I started with the simply 'bag' model but have now upgraded to the more sophisticated unit with a proper filter. It's about the size of a 330ml can of drink and goes through all the scanners without question."
Sits down and takes a deep breath as I reveal my level of uncertainty and the hope that such a device may help in an emergency. Providing I don't get knocked out before I can put it on. Looks around carefully to see if others have smoke hoods hidden in their jacket or are laughing in a cavalier fashion.
