Travel Tip #1
LOADED GUNS
TSA allows unloaded guns in checked luggage as long as you declare them, and they are inside hard-sided containers. Be sure to know specific airline rules before transporting firearms of any type.
Travel Tip #2
PAINT
TSA does not like to find paint in your checked luggage because it's considered hazardous. Non-flammable artists paints are often allowed, however, any paint will raise red flags and may well be confiscated.
Travel Tip #3
GLUE
Once again TSA is concerned with flammable liquids with glue being one of the worst offenders. If for some reason you must carry glue be able to prove it is not flammable..
Travel Tip #4
MARIJUANA
Cannabis is currently legal in 38 states. TSA officers are required to report any potentially illegal item to law enforcement, so even if you're traveling between two legal states, marijuana may still be confiscated and send out unnecessary red flags.
Travel Tip #5
EXPENSIVE JEWELRY & OTHER HIGH VALUE ITEMS
Although legal, why risk loss?
Travel Tip #6
FILM CAMERAS
Not nearly as common as they used to be if you want to bring a film camera on your trip make sure you keep it in your carry-on luggage. Checked baggage scanners are much more powerful and will more than likely ruin your film.
