Honestly the policy is terrible.
Sure carry on is fine!*
*Unless it’s not, who knows what we decide at the last minute and then your bag is already checked and now you’re at the TSA line backing everything up because we make shit up on the fly.
It should just say checked bags only and nip it in the bud. And don’t get me started on the TSA and their rubber rules with guns.
- fallingknife 3y agoThey have to have this policy. You can come up with a weaponizeable design for almost any object you can think of e.g. a toy lightsaber with a heavy metal hilt the is basically usable as a club. You have to give agents the discretion to say "yeah, that's not coming on a plane"
- sokoloff 3y agoExactly. My mother-in-law is an avid golfer and had a temporary condition requiring the use of a cane. Friends of hers got her a driver (the largest golf club), modified to have a bent handle and some rubber on the head to serve as a cane. She was surprised to find that the TSA wouldn't let her through security carrying what most would agree is effectively both a golf club (not allowed) and a cane (allowed). (I was surprised that she was surprised.)
- lostlogin 3y agoThe surprising bit is that anyone would think there was room to swing a golf club. I can’t even stand up on a plane, and I sure as hell can’t sit properly.
- fbdab103 3y agoEverything about TSA is subject to the whims of the the agent that day. Even pre-check. Leave your belt on, except here, today, because reasons.
- sitzkrieg 3y agoas gp eluded to, they have to do something right. if not that barking at the line randomly while wandering around
