anyone have trouble or success bringing one of these through airport security in a carry-on bag?

I recommend going to the TSA website and thoroughly reading the rules located here: http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items.

I have flown a few times using this bag as a purse, in addition to a carry on item. No problems so far!

Yes, I have used it as a carryon with my electronics with no problem on domestic and international flights. The small farpoint 40 can be used as a carryon and I find myself being more efficient at packing and use this bag more.

I've flown with them domestically and internationally without any problems. I didn't pack them in a ziplock, just tucked in my carry on.

I've taken mine on dozens of flights with no problems. It blends right into your keychain, and no one has ever questioned me about it.

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.

I wouldn't chance it, it may get confiscated. I normally pack this in my check in luggage. I think the rule of thumb to carry on is 2-1/4" blade or less. Your best bet is to check the TSA website. Hope this helps.

I had it in the luggage so i did not put it my carry on but I'm leaning towards you might run the risk of it being taken. Also the size may Exceed the amount of liquid your allowed to bring on an airplane.

I bought a special lock from ACE that the airport people can open. Not sure how but they did not put it back on so I lost my lock on my first trip. Probably will not buy another lock. But elastic straps keep the case secure. They are a must.

Carry-on has never been a problem for me. Traveled to Las Vegas last week and had my insulin pump in my Frio pump pouch, no questions about the pouch. Also brought my larger FRIO pouch with vials and pens of insulin with me in my hand luggage on orher trips, also no problems.

i did just that. used it as my carry on on a domestic flight to veil co...though as it is also my normal camping pack i checked and double checked that i hadn't left a knife or magnesium stick or anything "dangerous" inside. *edit* seeing the other comment i wanted to clarify, i flew out on American Airlines, and returned on Continental. so i know it fit in their o'head compartments

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.

I've checked it in luggage a few times without issue. Not carry-on though. I put it in a ziplock back in case pressure were to cause any leaking, but I do that with all liquids in checked luggage.

I recently used this model for my guns on two flights, and no problems, cleared TSA inspection just fine. Nice part is if needed you can give them the combination over a phone call and not worry about a key.

you can place this tool in your checked bag but NOT your carry-on TSA will take it!

I can not see where it would be a problem as long as it was in your luggage and not in a carry on bag. I carry mine in a quart zip lock bag but have not taken it on a flight.

I've never taken my Helix out of the bag for TSA security BUT, I have a T-Pass bag which opens to show the laptop in the bag. Generally speaking, I've had to take devices out (when carrying a non-T-Pass bag) if it has a keyboard and opens.
