    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!

    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.

      You know, I wanted to buy a particular pocket knife on my trip to France, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to carry it on and I wasn't willing to check in my luggage. I ended up ordering the knives through Amazon and having them delivered to my home. It is the exact same knife, and I didn't have to deal with security.

    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.

    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.

      Same! I traveled in and out of O’Hare and many foreign countries for 25 years with zero hassle. However, leaving Ireland I was blessed with an extremely dedicated TSA… kept asking where my scissors are. I tried several times to help her locate them (at the bottom of my bag) and each time yelled ‘STEP AWAY FROM THE BAG!’ Then would ask me again to show her where they are. 🤷‍♀️. So I said she’d have to take it all out herself. She did, then measured them and was very disappointed that they were compliant. After her antics she fiercely told me that I needed to be careful because Chicago TSA are way meaner than her!😂😂😂 nah lady, not nearly.

    I love your videos. I travel about once a month and get a chance to go all over the place. One thing you brought up was lighters. I'm not a smoker but have always carried a lighter for work and vacation my personal favorite is a butane torch lighter. Basically lights anywhere and keeps goings. Although listed on not safe to carry list it they are frequently over looked while going through security. I'd say 1 in 10 will refuse it and it seems to be completely random as well as to which security catches it. So I do carry them but basically expect them to be confiscated and try not spend more then $20 for them.

    TSA workers need to be better trained on their own scissors rule. Sissors can be brought in carry-on bags if they are less than 4 inches FROM THE PIVOT POINT. And not 4 inches long in total!

  • @HR-wd6cw
    @HR-wd6cw Год назад

    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.

      Check your bag. I travel frequently with camping equipment for work and with some planning pretty much everything you need can be taken with you on the airplane. Basically any and all camping fuels DO NOT PACK, but cleaned out stoves are allowed, tents poles ext, The other trick is to keep your weight under 20kg or 50 lbs. I use an Action Packer with lockable handles and it fits within the normal allowable dimensions and weight in order to keep as a normal carryon.

    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.

    Airport security doesn't have any legal right to search children and babies I consider any airport security agent searching a child or a baby as a terrorist

      Children can hide stuff too. Bad parents can even hide it in children. Tbh almost no one actually likes TSA but it’s the rules that they must search everyone.
