Always Know The Items You Shouldn’t Take to Planes

Whether you like it or not, there are many things you shouldn’t (can’t) bring on board an airplane. Some are due to the TSA, some are because of airline restrictions but in either case, no is no. Here are a whole bunch of things you shouldn’t bring.

Don’t bring anything like bats or golf clubs on board. The airlines don’t want you to get mad and be in danger of others and I can’t blame them. Also, something like golf clubs don’t fit in the overheads anyway and it might snap.

Explosives are not allowed. I think there’s no more explanation needed for this.

Actually, anything sharp is not allowed. Blades, cutlery for cooking, razors, scissors are all not allowed. They are just really afraid of mad people I guess. I wonder why it’s different than people riding a bus or train.

Anything flammable is not good either. Basically, if you see that skull with two bones that forms a cross at the bottom, just keep them away from anything flight related.

Really strong magnets are also not allowed so there might be a reason why they don’t let you bring those huge speakers on board the plane.

If you have ammunition, you must declare it before bringing it on board. It also needs to be securely packed in wood, metal or a fiber box. For more information, you better check with your airline (but don’t care the operator when you ask them about guns)

Any tools that’s longer than seven inches needs to be checked. Drills, drill bits etc are also better checked than not (whatever the size). If you are a contractor and have lots of screwdrivers, pilers, they may be carried on board but do you really want to carry all that around? Just put them in your luggage.
