| How do you know what you can and
can’t take with you when you are boarding an airline? Prohibited
items are weapons explosives incendiaries and include items that are
seemingly harmless but may be used as weapons-the so-called "dual
use" items. The Transportation Security Administration offers
a printable
list of items that are permitted and those that are not allowed
past the checkpoints |
