If you do perform that research, you’ll quickly learn that some very surprising stuff is explicitly allowed onto a plane. Here are some of the weirdest things TSA agents won’t even blink at if you push them through security—just keep in mind that TSA reminds us, “The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint."
The list
Human bones. You might wonder why you’d be traveling with a human skeleton or animal bones, but you just need to know that the TSA has confirmed more than once on social media that a properly packed and labeled skeleton or collection of animal bones is fine as long as the airline is prepared for it.
Snow globes. This is definitely something you won’t think about until you’re desperately transporting a dozen snow globes back home for the holidays, but in case you’re wondering, you can bring snow globes onto a plane. If they contain less than 3.4 ounces of liquid, they can be in your carry-on luggage. Otherwise, they’ll have to be checked.
Shock collars. Yes, you can bring your favorite shock collar onto a plane as long as the airline allows it. If you don’t have a pet being trained with the collar, however, be prepared for some curious looks.
Frozen food. Did you know that you can get around the 3.4 ounce rule for liquids by freezing them? It’s true! In fact, frozen stuff in general is allowed—but it can get tricky, because even a slight amount of melt can disqualify the food, and that includes ice packs being used to keep the food frozen.
Alcohol. Yes, you can bring booze on the plane, but there are rules. For carry-on, your alcoholic beverages have to adhere to the 3.4 ounce rule, and mini-bottles have to fit “comfortably” in a quart-sized plastic bag. For checked baggage, you can have unlimited booze that’s less than 24% alcohol (48 proof). For stronger stuff, you’re limited to 1.3 gallons, and it has to be in unopened retail packaging. One final caveat: Just because you can bring it on the plane doesn’t mean you can drink it on the plane. The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) requires that alcoholic beverages be served by a flight attendant.
Knitting needles. In the argument that most air travel security is theater we present: Knitting needles, which can absolutely be dangerous but are absolutely allowed onto your plane, as long as they’re sheathed or wrapped to prevent accidents when the TSA officers are inspecting your bags.
Swords. Yes, if you possess a sword of some kind, whether a two-handed broadsword, a rapier, or a fencing foil, you can bring it on the plane—in checked baggage only. Just make sure it’s sheathed so no one gets cut inspecting your bags.
Auto parts. You can bring as many car parts as you like in both carry-on and checked luggage, as long as they are 100% free of fuel traces and will fit in the overhead bins or under the seat in front of you.
Electric blankets. If you want to be super cozy on your flight and find airplanes uncomfortably frigid once they’re in the air, you can bring an electric blanket through security and onto the plane. The bad news? If it’s a plug-in model, your airline probably won’t let you use it on the plane, even if there are outlets available. You can probably use a battery-powered blanket, however, just check with your airline first.
Spurs. If you’re living the sort of cowboy lifestyle that means you often find yourself with spurs in public places, don’t worry: You can toss them into your carry-on or check baggage without a problem.
Lock picks. Nothing shady about this at all, at least as far as the TSA is concerned: Yes, you can bring lock picks onto the plane. If they’re shorter than 7 inches, they can go in your carry-on bags. Keep in mind that local laws may prohibit this even if the TSA doesn’t mind, so check with local law enforcement if you want to avoid trouble.
