Does it come with some kind of TSA approval certification paper? I could see this being a problem even though, in theory, it's allowed.

I've made it through every TSA checkpoint (think USA) with this tool (I've flown close to 100,000 miles this year). The exception here is international checkpoints. This tool will NOT pass through security in Costa Rica - they will confiscate it, they have mine.

you can carry on almost all multi-tools that are under 7" long and do not have a blade. So get a Leather Man take off the knives and its good to go through TSA Security for carry on. However TSA Still recommends taking these items out of your bag so they can look to verify there is no blade faster, and they wont have to dig through your bags for it!

You CANNOT travel with these. They will be confiscated. I've lost two. They are lovely, well made devices. Well worth having if you are not going to travel with them. But the WILL BE CONFISCATED if you try to take they through airports. PERIOD.

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!"

Other than some printing on the package, there's no certificate or paperwork that comes with it other than warranty stuff. In theory it's allowed for travel, but in the end it's up to the discretion of the TSA Agent. When I traveled, I had it unfolded with the tools out so they could look at it closer if they wanted which they did on my return flight, but they still let it pass.

No - this is NOT TSA approved. I have had a few taken from me at the airports. But - you CAN put it in your checked luggage.

I do not work for TSA but in my opinion it is not a liquid but rather a saturated paper. I took them to Europe last year in my carry on and suite case. I suggest putting only what you need for your flight in the carry on. Happy travels

I am currently on a trip and have had zero issues going through TSA. I have already had this for 3 airline trips and not even a question.

Maybe he means tsa approved? Sounds like people have been able to travel with it without any problems, so I would guess the tea has no problems with it.

It's allowed by TSA, unless of course you just get an officer who doesn't know the rules. In which case you should ask for a supervisor.

I've seen on TSA.gov website under prohibited items,a long list of items. Maybe that will help.

TSA standard is 3.4 ounces, so technically no - but I don't think they'd ever notice. You can always transfer some to a smaller container if you're worried about it.

I think it depends on the mood of the TSA agent. I was allowed to take it on board a few years ago. The agent said "I am not supposed to do this". I would say your chances are poor.

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 haven't tried it, but the manufacturers website indicated it meets TSA reqs for checked luggage.

Hello, we do meet the requirements set by the IATA for CR82. We do not however include the add ons needed such as the live animal stickers, food dishes ect.

There is a key hole on the back side. TSA can access it with a key then lock back up after. Airline employees shouldn't have a copy of this key.

no. It does have some holes (3) which allow you to put a bolt and nut to secure it so that TSA can open it if necessary to inspect it, with damaging it.

I don't know what "TSA Approved" actually means. If you asked three TSA agents you would get three answers. Okay on Monday, maybe not on Tuesday, no way on Wednesday and absolutely fine on Thursday.

A message from the manufacturer: While flying with our tools it is important to stay informed&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;. Though TSA does not provide an official approval certificate on any of its items, the only thing we can ensure is that our tools will fit inside of their guidelines. Most TSA Agents are uninformed themselves and will use a conservative approach&#8203; when dealing with an unknown situation. It's a lot easier for them to say something is prohibited and move on than doing their due diligence. &#8203;According to the official TSA website (http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items)&#8203; Scissors - metal with pointed tips and blades shorter than 4 inches are allowed, but blades longer than 4 inches are prohibited NO OK Our tools meet the guidelines because 1. There are no actual "blades" or sharp edges, the entire unit is rounded off with soft corners 2. The entire tool isn't longer than 4 inches. Metal with pointed tips shorter than 4 inches is very much permitted. These 2 points alone should be enough to make your case. Remember, TSA Agents don't have these rules memorized, so it is important that you do!
