Is it illegal to carry a "Bulletproof vest" in a luggage and travel over sea?

I'd just wear it.  Leave the plate out. \n\nMight prove useful on the flight over.

I've flown my bike all over Europe, mostly in a dedicated hard bike box, and never once been charged excess baggage (only one airline, RyanAir, charged $25 as a 'bike' fee). I don't think they weigh these oversize items (if they did I'd have been seriously clobbered for the excess)!\n\nMaybe the rules are different in the States - but try ringing a few airlines or check out their websites before you leave behind your beloved pushbike. \n\nEurope is totally bike-oriented - there are fantastic bikepaths and scenic bike routes everywhere and in some countries (like Austria and Holland) the bike has precedence over everything! Take a look at the EuroVelo website to get an idea (see below). \n\nA bicycle is the way to see Europe - so if you can, bring it with you. \n\nBy the way - your bike shop will give you a bike box for free - it'll be a cardboard one that a new bike came in. Pack it out with firm polystyrene sheet and you'll have a pretty safe way to transport your bike. Best of all though - buy a dedicated, rollalong, hard bike box. It'll take all your clothes and stuff too. It'll also last all your cycling life, so it'll prove cheap in the long-term and you'll have seen the World on two wheels!

Yes you can just don't do it around the tourist beaches. It is really windy down here now. 18+Kts bring an 8wt -11wt.

Sure, as long as you can tolerate disgruntled customers who might miss their flight, alarms beeping when someone doesn't take their belt off, & saying "Sir, you CAN'T bring this on board."\n\nIf you can handle that, you'll be fine.\n\nUPDATE: Oh, yeah...frisking.

a rifle or pistol?\nyou can take weapons on planes so as long as thy are declared and locked up ( there are kept in the baggage hold ), but it's India's custom officals that I would worry about.

I can only state what the U.S. would do.  The U.S. will not allow any aersol paint through secrity or in your checked baggage.  It will be confiscated for what they call, "hazmat".

no but if you do commit a crime wearing a vest it is a seperate and harsher charge!

I live in the Dominican Republic and you could really get in trouble if they detect you are carrying a handgun.\n\nYou being foreing, believe me, it might not be easy to get you out of jail.\n\nNo matter what other people say, dont travel here with a Handgun.

Why not? Its just a flag. Piracy (On the seas, at least) is very rare, and I dobt common pirates use the flags.

Yeah, you are checked. The items you cannot bring are influenced by not only the Uniform Code of Military Justice, but by the area you are deploying to. Don't want to break someone elses laws either.

Some people use the cardboard box the bike was delivered in - after all it probably survived in this during a cross-continental journey to the dealer! Bike shops are happy to supply these for nothing! A few bits of firm polystyrene foam will improve things further. The downside is low security and its difficult to lug to the airport!\n\nI used to use a soft bag called a Tepee, specially made for bikes, but although the bike survived OK, the bag got seriously roughed up very quickly!\n\nNow I use a hard case. It was expensive, but it thoroughly protects my bike and there are enough loose spaces inside to take my clothes, tools and a few extras. So far, bike and box have arrived unscathed every time. \n\nFor enhanced security my Italian-made bike box also has four stout clasps, each fitted with a good combination lock (so no lost keys hassle).\n\nThe box has a handle at one end and wheels at the other - so it's easy to drag around - just like a big Samsonite suitcase really.\n\nAmazingly, in all my travels all over Europe I've never had to pay excess baggage charges for the box (even though the combination of box, bike and all my other gear took the weight way past 20kgs)! I think this is because the airlines don't weigh these outsize items. One low-cost airline (RyanAir) charged me a fixed 'bike' fee of about $25.\n\nAll the airlines I've used have been fine and never raised an eyebrow - these include BA, Virgin, RyanAir, Austrian Airlines, KLM, Niki, Lufthansa and others. So far I haven't taken my bike intercontinental though ..... \n\nImportant tip - don't leave an aerosol can inside - I put some spray lubricant in the box and had the hassle of having to go to the tarmac with a security guard to unlock the box, hand over the can and accept a telling off! It had been spotted when the box was x-rayed en route to the plane!

Illegal, no\n\ndangerous, yes\n\nIt only takes one unfortunate blow to the head to cause a lifetime of terrible suffering. Always wear your helmet.

Dont take the item out of the body, it will cause internal bleeding and possibly cause more damage than needed..

depends on the state you live in (or the country for that matter)\n\nVirginia : http://www.gunowners.org/fs9713.htm\n\nTexas : http://www.io.com/~velte/FAQ.htm\n\nNRA: http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/FederalGunLaws.aspx?ID=59\n\n\nEven if a state or local jurisdiction has laws prohibiting storage, you are protected by this federal law:\n\nNotwithstanding any state or local law, a person shall be entitled to transport a firearm from any place where he may lawfully possess it to any other place where he may lawfully possess such firearm if the firearm is unloaded and in the trunk. In vehicles without a trunk, the unloaded firearm shall be in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console. Necessary stops, like gasoline and rest, seem permissible.
