Trauma Shears allowed by TSA
« on: March 31, 2019, 07:57:38 AM »
I just went through security at Raleigh-Durham with my ankle trauma kit. Only think I changed to it was removing the chest needle. Still has my 5 inch trauma shears in it. No problems at all. Not even a comment. I should probably do a review of my Ankle Kit soon. It’s probably my favorite piece of gear I’ve purchased. Ever.

That is quite interesting and unexpected in my opinion. Did they know you were military?

And I would love a review on that!
Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

Psalm 144:1-2

Interesting.

I did know that they Okayed scissors awhile back for folks who knit, do needle point, etc. on an airplane.

Thx for posting.

If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.

God created Man, Col. Sam Colt made him equal, John Moses Browning turned equality to perfection, Gaston Glock turned perfection into plastic fantastic junk.

I did TSA Precheck but the person running the X Ray did not.
Trauma Shears are allowed through TSA. But it depends on the TSA agent as to how the choose to enforce/make up rules.

I’ll try to work on it when I come back. But I’ve been oddly busy. I’ll be talking about it at the TC3 course.
