Has anyone tried to carry this on a plane? How did TSA security handle this item?

No, never tried to travel with them, but fair warning, but we bought 2 and the umbrellas broke off after first use, can't be repaired. Not worth the money

I have been permitted to carry it in on flights. I followed advice I read somewhere to freeze it as solid as possible first. I don't know whether that made a difference. In any event as long as you declare it, meaning you tell the officers as you're going through security that you have it and any other liquids, they should be able to swab it and let you through. No guaranties, but I've never had a problem. Sending it with your checked luggage wouldn't be a problem. Good luck!

I'm not sure about taking it on the plane. I checked it as didn't want to be bothered storing luggage. When full it is quite large. You will have to check the airlines guidelines about size.

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.

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.

I have not tried personally, but the package clearly states that it "Meets TSA airline firearm guidelines"...I hope this helps.

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, this is considered a self defense item and CAN NOT be carried through the TSA Check Point. If you do happen to have this in your pocket and TSA spot it, It could be jail time depending on the state your in. At very least it wont be allowed through and you have to check it in.https://apps.tsa.dhs.gov/mytsa/cib_results.aspx?search=kubaton

I cant say for sure, but I know that I would not try to bring it on a flight. Look on the TSA website - they have a page of confiscated items.

I'm not sure how the airline rules would apply here.......perhaps if that was the only thing....no carry on luggage...that might be in a small duffel. The problem is....you have to plug it into an electrical socket for it to work.........and I don't think you can do that in your airplane seat!

No I wouldn't recommend that you put it in a carry on luggage, if you managed to fit it in, which I don't think it would, chances are it would break in the handling of your luggage on the plane.

It has been my experience that there is no problem as long as the blade is out (obviously you must not carry the blade in your carry on), in fact the few times I've forgotten to remove it TSA has taken it out for me. I fly about 25 times a year.

Probably depends on the airline, but it is highly likely to be assessed an 'odd shaped baggage fee.' Also, as sturdy a unit as it is, there's still question as to whether it would survive the luggage handling. Bottom line is 'check with the carrier.'

I've taken it on a few flights and they've let me on with it. I've taken it while carrying a seperate rolling bag so it counted as a personal item i think.

I bet this will be confiscated by TSA agents. So, if you really need it, pack it in your checked baggage. If you are traveling without checked baggage...leave this at home. I had a great multi-tool that was shaped like a key confiscated and no matter how long I tried to argue, TSA would not budge. The dull blade on that key was probably no longer than 1 inch.

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'd bet if you don't carry it on.. and it's definitely less than the liquid max you're aloud to carry... but since it's a fire starting device you'd have to call the airlines probably. They're changing the laws a bit, like allowing non-locking pocket knives now. and such
