| How to Pack for

Do Not Pack, Do Not Bring!
Knives of any kind, blades of any kind (disposable razors are okay), scissors (unless blade is under 4" with rounded tip), lighters, aerosols (unless packed in checked luggage), batteries or other corrosive materials, weapons of any kind, anything with a fuse or which is lit with a match, matches or any flamable material.
Don't Mess with the TSA!
The TSA is extremely serious and diligent about their task of identifying potential terroristic threats. They have ZERO sense of humor for jokes or comments about bombs, fires, plane crashes, explosions, hijackings, or the like. They have the power to detain any person they deem even a remote threat and they can keep you from boarding your flight, or much worse. At the airport, and especially during the security screening, all passengers are expected to conduct themselves responsibly and to comply with any and all requests and/or instructions. We just don't mess with the TSA! Don't even think about it.
