Or just put it in the nearest zipper compartment of your backpack to easily remove it in case they ask to see it.Put it in the bin separately, so they can see it without unpacking
I bought one from Ivar last year and carried it on, just as I have many moderate sized castings without sharp edges or looking like handgrenadesWe bought a bronze scallop shell like what goes in the sidewalks along the way. They’re everywhere around here in Santiago.
My question: can I bring this in my carry-on home? Or can it only be checked/mailed?
Seems kind of like a blunt instrument even though, you know, it’s not.
so... this is an old trick - to point attention to "the one" in order to distract from "the other"I bought one from Ivar last year and carried it on, just as I have many moderate sized castings without sharp edges or looking like handgrenades
Flying home after a salmon fishing trip in Maine, my connecting flight in Newark, New Jersey was cancelled. I was required to claim my luggage and spend the night on a bench until the next day. The next morning I went back through security with my bag full of fishing gear that I decided to check at the gate.so... this is an old trick - to point attention to "the one" in order to distract from "the other"
Yup. Told lots of folks many many times that one can do some serious damage even empty-handed as long as they know "What to do".....The lady behind me said "I guess it's a good thing I didn't tell them my husband is a Navy Seal."
This is when I start to get suspicious that someone just wanted some nice spices.I have had spices removed because "that could cause respiratory distress".
I've mentioned before that I have had a small, clear plastic knife from a fast food restaurant confiscated; possibly the serrated edge was a problem.I have had a 3" ballpoint pen, shaped like baseball bat confiscated. I have had spices removed because "that could cause respiratory distress".. I have had Kevlar fishing line removed from my expensive fishing reel in my carry-on because it could be a weapon.

It is entirely dependent on the attitude/ demeanor of the inspector on that prticular day. If you have a checked bag, put it in checked luggage.
I placed my shells in my carry-on when I boarded the flights home. I had my Compostela in the bag too. On arrival to Australia, I declared them on my Declaration card to avoid any issues and also told the Border Security officers when asked.We bought a bronze scallop shell like what goes in the sidewalks along the way.
