BANNED Carry-On Items 2024 | (TSA Airport Security Rules)

A faraday bag is illegal?

Just lost 2 pricey tactical flashlights but they were in my CHECKED bag. Never again will I fly Spirit. They charge $90 for any checked bag and then STEAL from you after you paid.

No tweezers.

Can you stop the stupid ads. I didn’t watch I don’t even want see any your videos

How about mini iron for clothes?

Umm the allow 4 oz. Sometimes even 5..no more above that tho.just depends on the airport.

I'm a little surprised that they allow scissors up to 4 inches long and bottle openers (with the cork-screw) onto a lane. The bottle opener cork-screw is actually kind of sharp on some of them. In any case, I usually just pack anything questionable (except liquids) in my checked bag or I just don't bring it with me. Or in some cases, if I didn't have a checked bag and thought I might need a multi-tool or pocket knife, then I just buy a cheap one whereever I'm going, so I can basically discard it prior to getting to the airport as TSA will obviously confiscate it, so I'll sometimes do that if I don't have a checked bag but need something like that. Same for some soaps or shampoos... sometimes I'll just buy them where I'm going, especailly if I'm going to be gone for a week or more and a small bottle of shampoo (travel size) and soap (travel size) won't be enough.

I thought electronic smoking devices (or just electronic anything) had to go in your carry-on bag. I know batteries have to be carried on board so I would think anything that has a battery must be carried on (Li-Ion, alkaline, etc).

I remember returning from Switzerland back to the US, and to security personnel missed a small swiss army pocket knife my mom had in her purse only to realize she had it when we got back (she had bought it while in Switzerland so going out to Switzerland it wasn't an issue since she didn't have it then). But we were a bit surprised they missed this during the baggage scan at the security checkpoint.

There was a time when Australian airport security guy confiscated my unopened ‘Laughing cow’ box of cheese and he said it’s considered a liquid as the cheese is ‘spreadable’.
Funny thing is…. I actually asked him if he aware that I’m THE captain of the flight & I don’t need any weapon (especially ‘cheese’) to take control of the plane… DUH!
TSA are a clown compared to those Aussie security guys!

Do you have to put all your medication in a bag by themselves to go through security. Thanks

You are able to carry a thermos as long as it is empty. Once past security, you can use it for whatever. I used it for ice water internationally and only had to empty it once between flights in Haneda Tokyo, Japan. Annoying because I was able to go directly to the airline lounge and refill the thermos with ice and water again.

Good video 👍

My wife brings her knitting and knitting needles with her all the time. They never say a word about them. If im ever on a flight and the sh!t hits the fan I'm arming myself with them.

How come my comment was deleted?

How abt hair straightener and portable washing machine the tinny ones

Can I bring a drone? How about mountaineering gear like ice picks?

why do you speak with your mouth wide open?

👍👍👍👍👍

I'm planning a trip to Europe next year that'll including camping. Assuming the rules stay as they are, what's a good way to take items such as a Swiss army knife along? Do airlines allow a small box with prohibited items to travel as checked baggage at a less-than-outrageous price?

❤❤❤

I forgot about my nice CRKT pocket knife when I was going through TSA.
It was in the very bottom of my messenger bag style purse.
TSA did NOT confiscate it. They gave me the opportunity to mail it back to myself for a charge of $15. I filled out the paperwork and signed it, dropped my knife into the provided envelope. It was back at my house in less than a week. Well worth the price.

An embroidery needle okay with carry on?

On Air New Zealand domestic flight Christchurch to Auckland I hd 2 AAA batteries taken out of my small torch which was i. checked luggage. I thought they couldn’t go hand luggage so checked them in. Oops

Can we take groceries items like flour, spice packets, sugar kind of in hand luggage?

And how about glassware items like kitchen glass containers (empty) glass jars in hand luggage??

I checked with Air Canada and I can take my hockey skates as carry-on in Canada! Unsurprising…

When people automatically assume you're a 6 year old or something like that, there are some things (not everything- there are still other important rules you have to follow)you can get away with. I once spent 2 hours nibbling a blueberry scone, so I wouldn't have to wear my face mask during the middle of the pandemic. Severe asthma. I compare wearing a face mask to being underwater with a bag over my head and duct tape over my mouth. However, I don't fly often because it costs money that I currently don't have at the moment, and I'm not a huge fan of flying.

Thanks! I haven't flown since March 2020 right at Covid-19 restrictions beginning. Next flight, next month! 😊❤️✈️🧳💺

What about a small travel dry shampoo spray in a can?

4 inch bladed scissors ? Good.. 1.2 inch swiss army knife ? No way crazy

wow. look at those muscles. nice to see that time in the gym is paying off lispy!

Hi thank I so much the video was so useful. But could you make a video on unaccompanied minors

Objects ---main of which are sharp pointed ones---like forks ---which for some unknown reasons ---airlines themselves inadvertently provide potential aggressors capable of undertaking like deeds as would smuggled tapering trappings

This is very helpful tips! So baby formula (powder) can be brought for the long trip? I was worried about how I would feed my infant. What if it's broken out into serving sizes? Is there a limit for powder then?

I like your new midweek mini-video. They help keep us updated and remind us of your longer upcoming weekend video. 😊

Guatemala stopped me and took my small scissors with blades less than 1.5 inches. They also took my corkscrew that had no blade. Seems Panama has tighter rules than the US.

I like your vids. You're as cute as a basket of speckled puppies and I'd be happy to share a seat row with you (armrest rules apply!)

I would like to see how you pack your backpack... i have the nordace siena but i cant find a way to pack it well

Great concise and clear video. Thanks!

The thing about the "Swiss Army" style knife not being allowed...I dunno, is that new? My dad has always travelled with it and no problem. Once a security screener opened the knife, held it up to his badge and said, "That's fine. If it's shorter than my badge it's OK". I really wish they would abolish the silly liquids rule.

Actually, as of mid 2022, flying out of NYC international airports, you’re allowed to carry up to 3 ounces of Mary Jane in your carry on. it’s the destination you have to be careful about

what about a womans personal vibrator(s) - some you cannot remove the batteries...

Umbrellas?

Insta 360s 9' selfie stick?? Carry on?

Great content...thanks... Do you think you create some tips for traveling with toddlers... Like seat selection... Things allowed etc

Can't we all just wear a TSA-branded lycra form-fitting onesie (unisex) and be limited to only what we can carry in a one quart Glad baggie? Oh, and flip flops of course.
You just reminded me why I stopped flying. But thanks for such a well-organized presentation. As a former teacher, I give it an A+ and a thumbs up.

Even knowing all these rules I still overlooked the Isopropyl Alcohol I put in my backpack- so your reminder is very helpful.

The last time I travelled I forgot to put my classic Victoria pocket knife in my check in baggage and had to put it in the bins going through airport security and they let it go .This has happened a couple of times. So just to be aware maybe there letting those small knives through but not announcing it to the public. 😊

Crochet hooks?

Perfect advice by Megan. 👍

Happy travels M
