Thermapen on Airplane

  I've had a bookmark taken away because it was metal with a blunt tip. So I'm going to assume the thermapen with its sharp point would absolutely be taken away. If not for the security agent to take it home for themselves. Don't risk it.

  LBGE + others I hope - Sudbury, Ontario

  I was going to take mine on a trip this weekend but hesitated at the last minute because I thought they might take the temp probe as a usable weapon.  I'll be curious as to what you find out.

  I had a rectal thermometer taken away from me once.  They were worried I'd be a pain-in-the ass.  :D

  I travel almost every week. You ain't getting on a plane with that in your carry on. You can check it or mail it

  No.  You'll get a verbal "OK" from HQ but the word will NOT get down to the TSA agent who confiscates your 'pen.  Put it in your checked baggage or mail it to your destination.  

  Live fast, die young, and leave a well-marbled corpse.

  At the risk of spoiling a good question, they took it because they know you are a pain in the ass. 

  
  

  To the Thermapen question, checked bag only. 

  Legally, it's questionable; Morally, it's disgusting; Personally, I like it.

  thankyouverymuch.  SWMBO said she would mark me as a troll for that :)  But I'll leave that up to ayaryan aka mcnuttley aka eggerinLA aka zippylip who's got me at a 207 troll count.  Lot of work to do that, what an honor.

  Nope. T-pen will be confiscated. Check in or send it to yourself. When I have to fly I send my tools by fed x. Tools don't get near TSA

  Put it in a plastic bag, then hide it in a pair of dirty skivvies.  At least if it gets stolen, they'll have to earn it.  :-&
