Is it legal to bring these into a passenger flight on a checked in suitcase? I am flying internationally and I need them for a project.

It is legal, but the field strength must be 5.25 milligauss or less at a distance of 15 feet from the surface of the package (FAA Title 49, Part 173.21 Forbidden materials and packages). and the package/suitcase must be labeled as Magnetic. If the package measures above this value, don't ship it by air.

Just put it in a suitcase that's not being carried on. You don't need it during the flight.

I'm sorry, but i cannot answer your question because shortly after getting my binoculars they were taken by the Federal Transportation person from my luggage, so i hardly had a chance to use them. The government's response so far has been, "Sue us!" I may. What I as a naive traveler learned is never pack binoculars in checked luggage.

I would contact TSA/airline to be sure. You may be able to pack the ice pack \ in luggage that is checked. I would doubt you can bring this on the plane.

I'm not an expert on this subject and I won't accept any liability for how this answer may be used. Hypothetically speaking, I would guess that this item falls in a grey area and would be subject to the discretion of the TSA officers one would encounter. I also suspect that one would, hypothetically, probably succeed in bringing this along in a carry-on. That said, I would advise checking the TSA website for specific information on what is and is not allowed and following TSA guidelines.

TSA Prohibited items: Flammable: http://www.flyerguide.com/TSA_Prohibited_Items Lighter Fluid- not allowed in carry-on or checked baggage Common Lighters - Lighters without fuel are permitted in checked baggage. Lighters with fuel are prohibited in checked baggage, unless they adhere to the Department of Transportation (DOT) exemption, which allows up to two fueled lighters if properly enclosed in a DOT approved case. If you are uncertain as to whether your lighter is prohibited, please leave it at home. So, if it has been allowed to burn off all of the fuel, or is new and unused, you should be able to take just the warmer in checked baggage, but not in carry-on.. Probably a good idea to keep it in a closed zip-lock anyway, just to protect your other stuff from any potential vapors. You may have to bring a disposable butane lighter with you, just to demonstrate to the TSA that it cannot be lit. That's assuming you would be present when your checked baggage is examined. Otherwise, a note might be necessary - suggesting that the agent try to light it, to confirm that it's out of fuel. This could get really complicated, if the TSA doesn't have a lighter handy. In that case, providing the lighter in the luggage might get you arrested, but if you attached the lighter, with the note, explaining that it is to be used to confirm that your hand warmer in out of fuel, you might not be arrested. I have never done it, so do this at your own risk. It's best if you can take the bag directly to TSA and be present. Of course the lighter you provide can't go on the flight with you; it's a gift to the agent. ;-) But not a bribe, because actually he would confiscate it anyway.

I can not see where it would be a problem as long as it was in your luggage and not in a carry on bag. I carry mine in a quart zip lock bag but have not taken it on a flight.

I have been permitted to carry it in on flights. I followed advice I read somewhere to freeze it as solid as possible first. I don't know whether that made a difference. In any event as long as you declare it, meaning you tell the officers as you're going through security that you have it and any other liquids, they should be able to swab it and let you through. No guaranties, but I've never had a problem. Sending it with your checked luggage wouldn't be a problem. Good luck!

Can't take it on the plane as carry on but no problem with checked in luggage as told by TSA. Tried it with a cheap crimper and got confiscated. No big lost.

I've flown with them domestically and internationally without any problems. I didn't pack them in a ziplock, just tucked in my carry on.

I don't believe they will but I wouldn't use them in this application anyway. If you are using a Pelican case then whatever you have in there is worth some $. If you are intending to use these on a case with a firearm in it for ease of inspection when checking it for TSA inspection, you need to be present anyway during said inspection. That said, it is better to use a padlock (or two which are similar keyed).

Patricia, I don't know...if it doesn't say on the listing, I would contact the company and ask. I bought them for an overseas air flight and they worked fine.

No it is not permitted for air travel. I keep mine in my check in case and use it at my destination.

Taken out of Amazon packaging, they would fit easily into a carryon and don't weigh much. A pound maybe. But they are metal, so probably best in checked luggage

I used to work for TSA. This is a prohibited item and cannot be taken aboard or packed in your checked luggage. If found, it will be confiscated and destroyed.

I use them for the luggage under tag plane. TSA has their own keys. Don't lose yours.
