    The woman with the fully fueled chainsaw was at Seattle-Tacoma airport. She was taking it to give to her children. I remember walking through SeaTac 20 years ago when it was in a display case of nutty things people had tried to bring through security. Another item not to bring are Fig Newtons. Apparently they look like explosives on the x-ray. I learned this the hard way.

    I was traveling with my wife through the Philippines and she had her tiny curved tip scissors and they spotted them and had her remove them and throw them out. As well I have seen signs for no nail clippers allowed in carry on baggage. In Singapore the first security check point spotted my 100ML bottle of Dior cologne and made me pull it out to show him. I am glad they are being thorough!!!

    I keep a mini multi-tool on my key ring. It's a cute souvenir I got during one of my trips years ago. Recently, I completely forgot it was on my key ring. I definitely got stopped, it got confiscated, and I felt really stupid.

  • @Edofin

    I think you should have included information on Exclusions from the 3-1-1. Prescription Liquids should be packaged separately and don't count. Also, if you have medical equipment; from Diabetic supplies, to CPAP machines, to Service Animals do not count against your Carry On Limit. That said, You are responsible to notify the airline(s) a head of time of these encumbrances.

    Hi I'm from Australia love your channel your videos are very educational. My mum and I went to Las Vegas a few years ago and I bought my partner Booby lighter I believe it was a refillable one threw it in my backpack got to tsa security they picked my bag and put it to the side as I went threw, I heard is this your bag responding yes sir.
    They took me aside I was almost in tears they had scanned it and they emptied all the contents of the bag, they found the Booby lighter.
    They had to check to see if that sort of lighter was allowed threw AND YES IT WAS OK. My mum was laughing on the other side I'm in tears I tried to repack my bag with Please don't touch your bag yet please, they gave me back the lighter I repacked my bag. Moral to this story I'll never but another BOOBY LIGHTER FOR MY PARTNER EVER AGAIN. Tsa were very nice.🇦🇺

    Can you take passport through security scanner with you? I never saw anyone do it, but some vloggers say to do it. I’d like to wear a flat money belt through scanner with passport inside…

    • @julietopper9523
      @julietopper9523 Рік тому +2

      Most of the new passports have chips in them. They can sry off the metal detector. Also, if they put you through scanner, you are not supposed to have anything in your pockets. I actually had to go back, get another bin and put this tiny hair tie in it, and send it through the x-ray. Just asinine.

    You mentioned electric fans shouldn't be packed. I am going to Thailand in a few months. I planned on packing a couple handheld fans, as well as a little bit larger fan (still small enough to fit in my carry-on). Is this going to be a problem? I've never heard about fans, but then again I dont think I know of anyone who would travel with fans either. 😅

      I had a pb&j sandwich last year, and it was taken away by TSA. They told me if they had each been in individual 3.4 ounce containers and in my liquids bag, I could have brought it and made it once past security. It's so weird. They said there was no way to know how many ounces each was without being in a labeled container.
