Have you taken this through a security check at an airport? Thanks.

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.

Yes. There is provision in the handle for a lock. I have traveled with it many times without a lock and have never had a problem. I can understand your concern with all the TSA stories.

No, we have always had to check-in with the rest of our luggage. It is too large to go through TSA scanner. I am not even sure it was designed for gate checking.

I've carried mine in my carry-on for years and through international borders without a second glance. HOWEVER, I just had it refused this month in a flight from Canada, because of the serrated edge. I'll still keep on taking it and the odds are with me but it's not guaranteed.

That's a really good question! I'd be intrigued to know the answer as I've never used it in an airport. I'd say your best bet is to check with the airline you are flying with. Good luck!

At one airport (Albany, NY), I had no problem getting through security. In fact, the TSA people told me that it was more about the individual airline's policy than TSA policy. However, on the return flight from Texas, TSA pulled the unit from my carry on bag and scrutinized it for a few minutes and then let it through.

No issues having it in my briefcase going past TSA on at least a dozen trips. I put in my shirt pocket once I'm past security.

We check ours with our bags. Because it doesn't fit through the security X-ray so they have to screen it. Which is added time and a pain.

I've taken it in my luggage twice with no issues. Can't take on the plane in your carry on bag or in a pocket.

Hey Ritchie, did you ever find out? I was planning to do the same thing (check it on a flight). Thanks Raph

I took it on a plane this summer, and left it in my carry on to go through screening. No problem

I bought a special lock from ACE that the airport people can open. Not sure how but they did not put it back on so I lost my lock on my first trip. Probably will not buy another lock. But elastic straps keep the case secure. They are a must.

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 have taken this tool through TSA checkpoints at multiple airports in my briefcase many times. The last time, for some reason, it "didn't scan right" according to the TSA checker and they sent in through the scanner three times. After examining the tool at length, the examiner apologized profusely and said, "This is obviously OK, I can't understand why our scanner is triggering on it." I think that it was just a poorly trained, inexperienced TSA employee, but there you have it.

I only have checked it in at the airport. But I know I could have gate checked my bugaboo in this transport bag. I have also seen people just gate check their bugaboo cameleon without the transport bag.

No problem with item in checked baggage. However, I do now have a claim in with TSA for a mult tool that was missing from my checked bag. TSA questioned how I knew they were to blame. I thought it fairly obvious when they left an inspection ticket in the pocket where the tool had been. It seems these are popular with the inspectors.
