I thought I read some were that this was small enough to be TSA approved for flight. Does anyone know if this is true.

They were thinking about making small blades legal but they aren't. My swiss army classic was confiscated sept 5th 2014 at Denver

You would have to check with TSA (google it). Each state has its own rules.

not positive but I would say yes it is TSA airline approved and you can fit two padlocks on it

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

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.

I have no idea although I recall that a review I read indicated it was not approved for air travel.

It is as compact as a full size wheel chair could be. I do not know what the airplane regulations are - probably would need to be checked as baggage.

I woudnt think so but i would highly recommend you look it up on a TSA website

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.

Well, it's definitely not FAA approved for carry-on since it's too big to fit under the seat. Depending on the size you get, I have no idea otherwise....

It is highly unlikely the TSA would allow it on a plane. If you put it in a case of some kind and had them put it in checked luggage under the plane then maybe. In the cabin? No way.

Not sure. Best to check the TSA website. Not sure how they'd classify it. You could check with your airline as well.

I don't know about official TSA requirements, but this is a great bag. The next size up (10 and a half inches long) is a little big. I have two this size (9.5") and one smaller. These two I use one for toiletries and one for peripherals, chargers etc. They both easily fit into an outside compartment of a small backpack and are easy to get out for security. The smaller one I keep in my handbag all the time and it contains daily stuff, lip balm lipstick, eyedrops etc. Easy when I come to travel as I don't have to think about it. Usually throw my cell phone in it to go through security. I travel both domestically in the US and internationally. Have just used these for a trip to Australia -- no problems.

I know that it can be zip tied - it is small enough to carry on I guess but I'm not sure what the TSA regs specify

I'm not certain what you mean. If you mean is it legal to carry electronic items like this onto a plane, I have no idea, since those rules change constantly now. You'd have to call or email the airline and ask for their list of "no-fly" items. (If you can't bring a small bottle of shampoo or hand lotion on flights now, I honestly have no idea how to judge what they will deem as against the rules anymore.) If you are wanting to know if it's a good travel size, it is. It folds neatly and doesn't take a ton of space in your bag. It works well and I've had no problems with mine. I use it a few times a week and have had it for awhile now. I hope that helps. I'm not certain what you mean.

I'm not sure if it is approved, but it fits well in seats. I've used it on 737, 777, and regional jets without issue.

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!
