Removing Atzi Chaim
is there any hakpada not to remove atzi chaim in order to make is easier to take on a plane?
Have you tried calling the airline? They may give you permission to take it on board even with eitz chayims. (Not that this answers your question but it's always the best option).
It seems that one should try the most not to remove the atzei chayim because of the law "ain moridin", and this is considered horada b'kedusha, even temporarily. Obviously if there is no option, it probably can be done for the sake of the need of the sefer (see Rema YD 290).
I recall the bnei yona in discussion whether woman can sew on the eitz chaim, brings the rosh that the eitz of the seferr tora in the aron in be is hamikdosh must of been removed each time,and it's impossible that they made the Torah posul each time,therefore he concludes that it doesn't make it posul. Please review the source since I've seen it a long time ago.
