can you go through airport security with this?

Yes, of course you can go through airport security with this backpack! Just don't fill the water sac with water because you aren't allowed to have over 2 ounces of liquid on a plane for security purposes.

you could do that but you're not supposed to use a TSA approved lock if it's containing a pistol. You are supposed to put this in another bag that has a TSA lock on it and you put a non TSA lock on this. check this out: http://www.wikihow.com/Travel-on-Airplanes-With-a-Gun

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.

Really it depends on the TSA person and the airport your going on. If its a smaller airport probably if its one like LAX probably not. I would put it in my checked luggage just to be safe.

Sorry, I cannot answer your question with certainty as I have not gone through a metal detector at airport. That said, here is what I believe:(1) The amount of aluminum in one sleeve is so small I find it hard to believe it will trigger a metal detector(2) The sleeve will definitely show up as a suspecious item on a full body scanner used at most larhe US airports. If your sleeve is in a neck pouch or purse, it is recommended to let it go through the X-ray scanner( the moving belt ) instead of carry it with you through the body scanner. You can put your neck pouch back on your body once you have clear security checkpoint.Hope this help.

I used to work for TSA. This is a prohibited item and cannot be taken aboard or packed in your checked luggage. If found, it will be confiscated and destroyed.

Yes. There is provision in the handle for a lock. I have traveled with it many times without a lock and have never had a problem. I can understand your concern with all the TSA stories.

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

Kurt, if I were you...I would not take this pen through an airport. Chances are they would not let you board the airplane with it. You have to understand that this is a weapon in itself and most people know what this type of pen is for. It is likely that they would give you the benefit of mailing the pen back to yourself and that would mean leaving the checking area to do this and causing further delays in boarding the plane. I hope this answers your question.Sincerely,Joseph

Yes, there is absolutely no problem going through security with this bag. Have taken many flights and not once was it questioned.

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!"

the keyhole is for a key the TSA has. This is why you can NOT use this to transport firearms by airplane or in airports.Once you step in an airport with this lock on your firearms case you are committing a crime. Most likely you simply will not be able to board. Do not use this type of lock for air travel with firearms

I have never taken it through security, but I don't see why it would be a problem!

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.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for air travel. There is a spot for a small pad lock on one of the clasps. I wouldn't say that it would provide impenetrable security but would deter most from trying to take a peak inside.

I have taken it on an international flight with multiple security checks and no problems.

Yes. There are 2 reinforced "holes" for locking. There are two others that could also have locks put through them. I just travelled and TSA was happy with just the two locks.
