Haven't traveled with it yet but I would take on plane as it's small enough for carry on

Have traveled with it twice. Not problem at all putting in the overhead bins.

I replied to my own post but it never showed up in Amazon (for some reason). I just got back from a trip to Europe and the device had no problem being accepted as part of my carry-on at LAX, Newark and Oslo (both ways). I specifically asked about it in Oslo and their security said "no problem" having it on carry-on luggage. Hopefully this will make it to Amazon.

I had the same question because I plan on flying with it in less than a week. I read that you can carry it on and tell them that its safer to carry it on because if there is any issue it can be dealt with. If it was in the hull of the plan any issue would go unnoticed and that's why it's safer to carry it on

Don't know for sure but wouldn't want to take the chance that they would confiscate it. Since in can think of no reason anyone would need it during a flight I would play it safe and not take it as carry-on. Now that I think further you could loose it either way. I would check with NTSB. If it were essential that I have it at my destination I would mail it ahead. Dang! Can't depend on that either!!! Sorry.

I've used it several times as a carry on without any problems. Only once was I asked to check it right before I walked on the plane but only because the storage bins were all full. Flying out again in two weeks so I'm curious to see anything has changed as of dec 2nd.

I have taken this through TSA over 200 times and not had it taken away. The supervisor in Denver asked if she could show it around as an acceptable carry on item and I let her and then flew home with it, it is a great tool. For every minor concern that I have seen mentioned in posts, I can cite a time where it has helped me while on the road.

I would reccomend checking with TSA to make sure the item is not on the no fly list.

I just has one confiscated by TSA (9/2014) at New Orleans airport. Agent told me No knives in carry on luggage, checked luggage is okay.

I would simply carry it as a walking stick. If traveling, I'd also take a folding cane-- like hurricane, re -- and pack it folded in luggage.

Do you mean put it in a carry on bag or carry it loose? Best to check with the airline. if It's shorter than the max bag length you could always bag it. I checked it when I flew.

Kurt, if I were you...I would not take this pen through an airport. Chances are they would not let you board the airplane with it. You have to understand that this is a weapon in itself and most people know what this type of pen is for. It is likely that they would give you the benefit of mailing the pen back to yourself and that would mean leaving the checking area to do this and causing further delays in boarding the plane. I hope this answers your question.Sincerely,Joseph

Thanks for your response. It looks too big to carry so I will get another smaller one. I hope you never have to use it.

Elliot is correct, it may get scrutinized, I was told it was very dense and the TSA would appreciate it being taken out of your bag and placed separately like a laptop. I started doing that and now have no problem.

No, but I would recommend that you keep it in your carry on rather than checking it, because the luggage hold of many planes will get too cold for its temperature restrictions. (See more in my review of traveling with the Pogo paper here: https://www.amazon.com/review/RP1SY5RN1KW6Y/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm )

I recently passed through two security checkpoints with this accidentally in my carry on. It was clipped in the pocket of some pants I had packed and forgot to remove it. I didn't have a problem but I would remove the blade before flying for sure.

I have had a similar one for years, traveled extensively with it via airplane, and never had it given a second glance. I keep it in a computer bag. TSA is basically lame but it benefits me.

I haven't used it on a plane as of yet. However, I don't see it being a problem. I will be taking mine on my trip in September.
