Does anyone know if TSA will let you take or wear one of these through security at an airport?

I doubt it, there are medal bits in it. Maybe not wear it just show it to the security guard and it would be up to him. Better yet, keep it in the sealed box and have the security guard actually open the box. OR when ever you get somewhere buy some (from Amazon) LOL

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.

I put it in my purse, after going through the security scanning I go to the rest room and put the ThermCare on. I have never tried going through scanning with it on

If you mean the airport control, I am afraid you cannot. Once I saw (may be 10 years ago) the Swiss knife was confiscated in the airport. It is better to clarify this issue with appropriate authorities. I think, if you do not have a check out bas, it may be a problem.

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

I've never had them questioned and usually have one in my bag. That said there is nothing more consistent than the inconsistency of the TSA. Hope that helps.

Only if they have the key. When I shipped my firearms to AK this summer, I followed the airlines instructions about putting them in my luggage. The went there and came back without an issue. I used a nylon fastener to secure my luggage. The case is fiberglass and may be x-rayed, why would the TSA need access, thereby leaving you liable to theft by airline employees etc.? You need to further study the regulations.

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.

No, not at all. We got through at least 4 security checks with no issue. I had it in my purse through the first check and when we realized it wouldn't fit on the airline we were flying (Etihad) we kept it in our carry on for the rest of the trip.

Assuming TSA scanners are metal based. Yes. These belts have ZERO metal in them so it should and more likely than not the tsa people wear something similar.

I answered incorrectly before. I thought you were talking about the Tactical Operator belt. The belt on the left has a plastic buckle and no metal. Should not be a TSA problem.

I haven't used at the airport but I would assume there wouldn't be an issue with this as it's easily available for inspection. I love the bag itself and am happy with the purchase.

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'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.

Yes but take it out of your bag with the camera so they know what it is. We have gotten through security. Remember every airport can be different so you may want to call the airline ahead of time.

Verify with TSA. But I believe no. http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items#4

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 have a different type of TSA friendly bag, and I have never been asked to take my laptop out. I have been traveling nearly every week for work for the past 8+ years to various cities around the USA so I have a pretty good range of experience at most major US airports. Whoever said they sometimes get asked to take theirs out must not have been packing it correctly.
