You know what’s fun? Wondering if your corkscrew counts as a weapon. Spoiler: it does. Anything with a blade—including tiny scissors, pocket knives, and those cute foldable camping forks—is banned from carry-ons. Meanwhile, you can bring a solid metal meat tenderizer? The logic is weird. But the rule is clear: leave the Swiss Army knife in your checked bag, or gift it to a TSA officer (they get a lot of free stuff).
Your Best Friend’s Weird Vape Thing
Look, I get it—vaping is a lifestyle. But if that battery-powered doodad looks even slightly suspicious, it’s getting flagged. Lithium batteries over a certain watt-hour rating? No-go. Spare e-liquid bottles over 3.4 ounces? Tossed. And please, for the love of all that is good, do not try to bring a dab rig or a bong in your carry-on. Security won’t laugh—they’ll just call your name over the intercom. Loudly.
