Has anybody tried going through security at the airport with this flashlight, or had any problems taking it anywhere?

You can check it. Carrying it may result in it being confiscated since it is considered a strike tool.

Yes, I took it on a flight yesterday :) Just make sure you get the cable style lock and maybe some extra padding depending on the size of your gun so it doesn't slide around. Fits nicely inside a small suitcase.

Yes, However it's bulky. mine broke after about 1 week, flashlight fell out of holder consistently from the break. I modified it and gave up on it. Looks more durable then it actually is.......PGPD

I wore one through security once (wasn't thinking). The scanner beeped so I was asked to step to the side. I explained what I had on and lowered my waistband enough to show it to them. I also had a packaged one in my bag so they checked that out, too, and waved me on. It was a small airport so I'm not sure I would have made it through as easily at LAX or DFW. Usually, I put it on after going through TSA.

No guarantees on this ever since TSA agents in different airport can interpret these rules differently, but I've been able to cruise through without removing it. If the KB is detached your chances are much better.

I had no trouble carrying it on in the US. However, on my return trip from China, it was kept by airport security as it was considered a fire hazard.

I recently passed through two security checkpoints with this accidentally in my carry on. It was clipped in the pocket of some pants I had packed and forgot to remove it. I didn't have a problem but I would remove the blade before flying for sure.

No issues having it in my briefcase going past TSA on at least a dozen trips. I put in my shirt pocket once I'm past security.

You may get by with it, especially in USA airports but when you go to other countries, it will be totally random. We have had small plastic toothpicks, diaper safety pins and various small key ring tools confiscated. I told one official that the 4" pry took had passed through TSA and foreign airport security without question many times...and was told "not a my airport!"

yes no safety issues. not a good idea to shine in the eyes as it is very bright. I have bough 4 or 5 of these and apart from the battery is bit hard to get in due to the clasp it is a great buy...Batteries seem to last a long timetoo.

Yes , this device is proven tough . It can also be used as a self defense weapon . Excellent for camping , gardening , metal detecting expeditions ,and traveling . This device can fit into a carry on bag and be checked in at an airport legally .

No, it is a safety feature. Don't want to accidentally shock yourself while you are just looking for something with a flashlight.

I actually shimmed my button with little bits of plastic under the rubber cap, to make the button easier to activate. It's buried and quite stiff. I think you're far more likely to pop off the pocket clip and lose the clip. (happened twice on mine, lucky enough to find it again both times -- And I squeezed closed the part that holds onto the barrel to grip tighter, but i'm not sure of the effectiveness there.) Just make sure the light is INSIDE the pocket, and you should be okay to not lose the flashlight itself. :o)

yes, I have gone through security at several US airports with the cooler, blue ice packs, and third party sealed ice bags with no problem. You don't even have to open the cooler, but I do take it out of my bag for a separate scan. Only once did they lead me aside to the explosive detection machine and put my (full) milk bags in, but they didn't bother with the ice packs.I suspect TSA sees several of these a day and knows what to expect.

Yes, it happened to me. I returned it. I bought a Securitylng, 13000 lumen flashlight. It's bronze in color. It has worked great now for 6 months. Note: If one of your Li-Ion batteries has a bad cell, even though it shows it's not completely dead, your flashlight may not work. You need to have the batteries tested.

I have taken this through TSA over 200 times and not had it taken away. The supervisor in Denver asked if she could show it around as an acceptable carry on item and I let her and then flew home with it, it is a great tool. For every minor concern that I have seen mentioned in posts, I can cite a time where it has helped me while on the road.
