I just wanted to chime in and say thank you, Laurie. As a TSA officer, one of the things I hate having to do is have passengers surrender items that exceed 3.4 ounces. Please folks, just transfer important creams into a 3.4 ounce container. It's better to spend two dollars at Target for a container than to have to surrender a twenty or thirty dollar facial cream or lotion.

Excuse-me sir but is it wrong to ask a agent a 3.4 bottles or toiletries bag for ointment 🧴

Hi Laurie, I recently broke my hip and now have 3 screws holding it together. How would that affect my going through security .?

Hi Laurie! I have a question. I'm traveling to Rome, Italy with my daughter and her friend in June. I have 2 personal alarms to take with us. We are not checking luggage though. Can we put them in our carry-on. I would just feel safer wondering around at night if we had them.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes you can!

[@Summermute7]

A few years ago my dad was stopped at the Cancun airport and prohibited from bringing a ping pong paddle in his carryon. A flipping ping pong paddle. He had to check it because it was considered a weapon. Hashtag: Worst weapon EVER. (He likes to play ping pong at our resort. He’s pretty good and he has his own paddle, and he didn’t want to lose it.) The world has gone crazy.

Retractable and extendable trekking poles are not allowed in the carry-on, although TSA can have the final say. Canes and walking sticks are allowed if required as an assistive device.

My husband had to check and double check about transporting his new light saber he built at Disneyland, as a carryon. They ended up allowing it as his personal item, but it had to be kept in the bag provided by Disney when he made it and the hilt and light up "blade" had to be disconnected. It was a silly thing, but even pretend "weapons" are taken very seriously.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

They sure are. Some officers allow them and some do not. His sounds fantastic!!

Out of curiosity, at check in do they note if a passenger has a hand carry with them? And upon boarding, do the workers at the gate check or know if you didn't show that you have a hand carry at check in?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi, for carry-on bags, they do not check here in the US until you are at the gate ready to board the airplane. You scan your ticket and they look at your bags.

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie so far only fear I have is weight of carry on and personal item combined. I am flying with Iberia and their website states combined it has to be no more than 22lbs 😬. I’m a military person and used to having a free checked bag, which means I throw it all in there and have no worries 😉. International flights don’t honor the military with a free checked bag sadly so I am trying to learn how to pack like a minimalist so I don’t go over that weight.
