Thermapen on Airplane

Comrades,
I am about to go back home for T-giving where there is not an egg (yet). I am still going to be in charge of the Turkey. I have a T-pen that I love and would like to bring. Do you think it is allowed to bring in a carry-on? I do now want it to be stolen by the TSA. Also, I do not want it messed up by scanners or anything. Has anyone brought one on a plane?

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 (2012), MiniMax (2014), and too many Eggcessories to list. - 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.

I asked my German friend if he knew the square root of 81. He said no.

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. :-&Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....
