Has anyone tried to take this thru airport security?

No, I have not. IF the TSA is diligent enough to find it, they will probably keep it just 'cause...but if it is in carry-on and going thru x-ray, I would make sure it is oriented to "obviously" be a spork and NOT oriented to look like a slim piece of metal. Don't bury it in your bag in case there's a question(outside pocket of ur pack and handy (in case they want to inspect)...OR...completely bury next to any other metal in your pack so they can't differentiate it from other metals. If it's checked luggage, it won't matter.

Definitely ok in checked luggage. As for carry on, it looks according to the TSA approved list - http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items

I haven't taken that exact one, but I have taken the snow peak sporks through without incident. That said, I heard that TSA is going to start allowing keychain sized Swiss Army knives so stay tuned. Of course, never forget that TSA personel aren't the most consistently trained.

Yes I have mine in my backpack and I fly as least once a week so out of hundreds of flights never had an issue, never even stopped for it.

Why take a chance on having them reject it? If you put it in your luggage it will go through. Just don't put it in a carry on. Otherwise take a prepaid box big enough to ship it back to your self so that TSA doesn't keep it.

I haven't, though I know they will MORE THAN LIKELY take it from you . Because apparently plane jackets are using sporks and nail clippers . Regardless, I wouldn't chance it . Be safe; leave it in your checked bag .

I would call the Airline you are traveling on and ask. I took it through security and didn't have any problem, but things change all the time.

I bet this will be confiscated by TSA agents. So, if you really need it, pack it in your checked baggage. If you are traveling without checked baggage...leave this at home. I had a great multi-tool that was shaped like a key confiscated and no matter how long I tried to argue, TSA would not budge. The dull blade on that key was probably no longer than 1 inch.

This has a TSA lock. I know they have been able to open and then relock it based on the notification they leave when they have checked the contents.

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 just has one confiscated by TSA (9/2014) at New Orleans airport. Agent told me No knives in carry on luggage, checked luggage is okay.

Definitely not, especially with how much airport security has beefed up. You could probably leave it in the checked luggage though.

I cant say for sure, but I know that I would not try to bring it on a flight. Look on the TSA website - they have a page of confiscated items.

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!"

If the question is, will you be able to pass it through security without taking out your laptop, than the answer is No.

Yes, I have used this at the airport and on a flight. They made me take out the power cord so the laptop was just in there by itself and there were no problems getting through security.

Yes, I had no issues with security....they checked it out and it passed fine! You should have no issues at all! happy travels!

Check your With the Airline your flying with. , TSA may confiscate It Before You Board. I'm not saying its a weapon.,Lol But those Guys / Gals can be a little Crazy.

NO, this is considered a self defense item and CAN NOT be carried through the TSA Check Point. If you do happen to have this in your pocket and TSA spot it, It could be jail time depending on the state your in. At very least it wont be allowed through and you have to check it in.https://apps.tsa.dhs.gov/mytsa/cib_results.aspx?search=kubaton

I'm not an expert on this subject and I won't accept any liability for how this answer may be used. Hypothetically speaking, I would guess that this item falls in a grey area and would be subject to the discretion of the TSA officers one would encounter. I also suspect that one would, hypothetically, probably succeed in bringing this along in a carry-on. That said, I would advise checking the TSA website for specific information on what is and is not allowed and following TSA guidelines.
