Can Raptor be carried on a plane; will it pass through TSA screening? Acc. to tsa.gov, scissors with 4" blades or less are allowed but I want to ask

Why take a chance on having them reject it? If you put it in your luggage it will go through. Just don't put it in a carry on. Otherwise take a prepaid box big enough to ship it back to your self so that TSA doesn't keep it.

A Leatherman may be put into your checked baggage. It cannot be carried into the passenger area of a plane.

Hi Vincent! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) My sincere apologies for missing your question previously! That answer is unknown. I would think if the contents were scanned, it would not pass the stringent US FAA rules. You could check with the FAA/TSA on that for the best answer though. Anything else, please let me know here at this link:

I am airline pilot and this item will pass TSA screening (without ammunition). Ammunition can be shipped in checked luggage and must be declared, limits vary with each airline.

Some airlines allow you to carry them on board as carry on as long as it can be checked via x-ray. I would suggest you call the airline you are traveling on and ask them what their requirements are. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Sorry for your loss.

I recommend going to the TSA website and thoroughly reading the rules located here: http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items.

I think it depends on the mood of the TSA agent. I was allowed to take it on board a few years ago. The agent said "I am not supposed to do this". I would say your chances are poor.

No....AND you CANNOT fly with straight razors in a carry on piece of luggage. The safety razor itself is fine so long as the blade is removed. TSA will have you throw the razors out.

Do you mean if you travel with it? I would guess that you could not carry it on the plane, but maybe it could go in your checked bag. Maybe you should ask a travel agent.

No. The TSA announced it was going to allow certain small pocket knives with the blade dimensions mentioned above in 2013, but those changes never happened (at least not as of early 2014) because of backlash. As a result all pocket knives are still prohibited, even the smallest keychain pocket knife is still prohibited. Regardless, those proposed relaxed rules explicitly did not allow knives with fixed blades, locking blades or any kind of even vaguely molded grip. This knife clearly has a locking blade (frame lock), and has a somewhat molded grip, thus wouldn't have been allowed even under the proposed relaxation.

You would have to ask the TSA. You would not be allowed to carry your scissors it rotary cutters in it. The sides are soft so I would not trust it to be checked with a machine in it. I use mine mostly to take my machine to the school to help sew flags and uniforms for field band

Julian, I don't think it will be allowed. See this article on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/05/travel/tsa-knives/

I would think yes but with the ever changing & in most cases ludicrous rules it would be hard to advise on this. One airport checkpoint may let it pass & then another throw you on the ground & have cops arrest you. It would be best to check the TSA list of banned items since it's no more than a primitive lighter....can you bring a Bic or a Zippo?

TSA agents are trained and tested daily to catch "Wallet Knives" on the xray. This looks like a wallet knife so their search is justified. When they see that it is not a knife then it will be ok. If they say its not ok than they are wrong and you can ask to speak to a supervisor or manager. If you have this on you when you go through security, you should know they are going to search it, so common sense should tell you to take it out and place it in a bowl so they see it without going through your belongings. It also says box "opener" not box "cutter"

I am not a TSA officer, so I'm not sure. They aren't weapons, but I would put them in my checked bags rather than carry-on. Just in case.

I don't think so! The screws that hold the tool together are the tamper resistant type.They can be defeated, but I don't think you want to.Even if you removed the blade, there is no guaranty the TSA would let you take through anyway.I had to leave a Multi-Tool in Miami, and once was enough.

I'm not an expert on this subject and I won't accept any liability for how this answer may be used. Hypothetically speaking, I would guess that this item falls in a grey area and would be subject to the discretion of the TSA officers one would encounter. I also suspect that one would, hypothetically, probably succeed in bringing this along in a carry-on. That said, I would advise checking the TSA website for specific information on what is and is not allowed and following TSA guidelines.
