Can I take my Palio Cutter on d'plane?

[Angry Bill]

Ok, GOing to Aruba and need to know if the jackasses at TSA are going to allow me to carry on my Palio cutter or not. I am already reserved to take matches (Zino)?

I know its a stupid question, but I'm not loosing my Palio!

Acording to it ye can even take it on carry on. But, who knows? It wouldn't be the first time they wouldn't care.

check a few cheap cutters

 

[dpricenator]

I think checked is OK.. some one just said there lighter got taken, but the cutters were still there

 

[jmatkins]

I travel with mine all of the time as a carry on.

No worries Bill, I fly all of the time with my Palio.

be safe get a tranzpak and put both in checked bags...I made it back from overseas this way.

I guess I fly a little more risky but I just throw them in my toiletries bag. I toss my lighter and cutter in there. Maybe I'll get a transpak so I don't have to worry about my xikar lighter getting swiped.

This last time I flew though had a cheapie cutter in my carry on just to see if they'd find it and take it. My freebie from Holts made it.

Never had a problem with mine, but I've been pretty lucky. I did get held up by security in Israel I think it was but they let me through with it.

Cutters have been allowed for some time. I carry my Palio in my briefcase and carry it on every week. Enjoy Aruba.

 

[vperlman]

Yes, you are allowed to carry it on. However, many TSA employees are idiots or worse, so I always print out the list of allowed items from the TSA website and bring the print-out with me.

 

[Jwrussell]

Put it through carry-on for my last trip, no issues whatsoever.

 

[CWS]

I carried my on no problem either way.

 

[jwintosh]

Its all good. I have done it a few times.

This is only a partial list of items that can be taken onboard aircraft according to TSA and I always make a copy of this and put it in my travel humidor in case they get that far and they usually do but just read it and put it back with no problems.

I took mine - the TSA guy pulled it out, looked at it, played with it, put it back in the case, stuck it back in the bag, and said "have a nice flight sir!"

I carried my Palio and Xikar scissors on the plane to Seattle with over 30 cigars. No problem. When I got to Seattle but before getting on the ship bought a small torch lighter. On the trip back we had our bags checked through from the boat to LA so I walked into the airport and thought oh well just lost another torch. I put the cutters and the torch right on top of the bag in plain view. Went through xray, looked at and said have a nice flight.

Nice one, I also just got back and my Palio was safe in my carry on.
