I Think the only problem might be the legs (you can put them in your checked bag). http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/4580352/page...

I had no trouble; I took the legs off, and suspect this varies with the screener. As a related aside, note that the TSA is currently relaxing regs to allow small knives and "novelty" bats up to 20", so I suspect that a lightweight aluminum telescope let will be a non-issue. (but your mileage may vary!) Post Extras:       Pages: 1
