Aircraft Baggage Screening

Speaking as an airline employee and neutral service

mechanic for Shimano. No Tools are allowed on board as

carry-on luggage. I either check my tools or they stay

with our truck during the season. The TSA has

developed a new list of things not allowed in the

cabin of airplanes I believe you can go to their web

page to check. www.tsa.gov

They seemed to think

my LOOK pedals were not a threat. I was allowed to

run back to the front

counter and check my carry on.

Live and learn.

Yes .. do be careful what you try to bring on.



I lost a good multi-tool which I forgot was in my

carry on, but the

X-Ray discovered it. The security person told me to

think in terms of

aggressive harm that any item could cause. Since I

am pretty non-violent

and never assaulted someone, this seemed like an odd

judgement call I

might make.



I used to be Mr. Carry on, now I check all but

paperwork and laptops

through.

Screening

 

My experience is that ANYTHING tool-like is a

no-no in carry-on

baggage. I learned the hard way, forfeiting some

nice tools in the

process. Check it all.
