- Since 9-11, security for all modes of transportation has increased dramatically (especially for air travel). If you are confused as to what you may or may take with you when you travel, you are not alone. Use common sense. For example, anything that looks like a weapon is prohibited in your carry-on luggage: gun-shaped lighters, toys, paperweights, etc. Everything in your carry-on must be searchable. Therefore, gift-wrapped items are not a good idea. If your luggage is searched, all gift wrapping will be removed. Plastic ‘picnic’ forks, knives, etc. are ok – but similar metal utensils are taboo. Of course, the prohibited list includes box cutters, razor blades, sharp pointed metal scissors, and all metal weapons. Add to the ‘no-no’ list baseball bats, golf clubs, flare guns, hammers, or anything else that could be used to inflect injury on another person. Flammable items such as lighter fluid, fireworks, and spray paint may not be transported by air – either in your carry-on or checked luggage. More information can be obtained at www.tsa.gov. Do a search for ‘prohibited items’ to see the regulations regarding air, highway, rail, and mass transit travel. 111 Travel Directory - Bed and Breakfasts ... and more 18-Dec-2004 111 Travel Directory - Bed and Breakfasts ... and more ID1768 Would You Like to Add a Travel Tip?We welcome QUALITY travel tips from our users.Note: you will be required to enter the characters from a security image, so please make sure that you have your browser set to view images.
