No problem with airport security. I travel a lot and was surprised that it goes right through.

I just flew with it from Houston via Frankfurt to Bulgaria(March 1st, 2013). That was my big concern as well, but in Houston the Lufthansa staff did not even mention the size of the bag. The bag is solid and looks like it will be my travel choice for a long-long time.

Yes but take it out of your bag with the camera so they know what it is. We have gotten through security. Remember every airport can be different so you may want to call the airline ahead of time.

I have a different type of TSA friendly bag, and I have never been asked to take my laptop out. I have been traveling nearly every week for work for the past 8+ years to various cities around the USA so I have a pretty good range of experience at most major US airports. Whoever said they sometimes get asked to take theirs out must not have been packing it correctly.

Yes you can, just be ready with it when you go through security. I traveled international without any problems.

you can carry on almost all multi-tools that are under 7" long and do not have a blade. So get a Leather Man take off the knives and its good to go through TSA Security for carry on. However TSA Still recommends taking these items out of your bag so they can look to verify there is no blade faster, and they wont have to dig through your bags for it!

if you check it in as baggage I do not see why not. If you are transporting firearms make sure you have a lock on it and you have TSA inspect everything before U lock it and walk away.

I believe they are as long as it passes through their security screenings as carry-on baggage. Before going to the airport I suggest that you call your local airport, or better yet the TSA itself as these things vary from state to state.

Yes. The main issue with this bag are the latches. They will break easily. Mine broke on my first trip (by TSA) but the airline did reimburse me for the bag.

I don't know about official TSA requirements, but this is a great bag. The next size up (10 and a half inches long) is a little big. I have two this size (9.5") and one smaller. These two I use one for toiletries and one for peripherals, chargers etc. They both easily fit into an outside compartment of a small backpack and are easy to get out for security. The smaller one I keep in my handbag all the time and it contains daily stuff, lip balm lipstick, eyedrops etc. Easy when I come to travel as I don't have to think about it. Usually throw my cell phone in it to go through security. I travel both domestically in the US and internationally. Have just used these for a trip to Australia -- no problems.

Yes you may use that with Check bags.TSA has master keys to open it,if they need to.you can keep your key.

I would think yes but with the ever changing & in most cases ludicrous rules it would be hard to advise on this. One airport checkpoint may let it pass & then another throw you on the ground & have cops arrest you. It would be best to check the TSA list of banned items since it's no more than a primitive lighter....can you bring a Bic or a Zippo?

It will but will be a tight squeeze. If you are not rough with the bag, you'll be ok

In point of fact, this case is fine for air travel. Just make sure it's locked and declare it with your airline at check-in.

From my experiences the bag may be a little big to meet the airlines requirements for carry-on luggage. Each airlines post thier size restrictions online; may be helpful.

I tried to take similar packs in my carry-on and they were confiscated by security. Pack them in your checked bags and you'll be okay.

No. You need a hard-sided, locking bag tor transport weapons. Check with your individual airline for specific requirements.
