Cordless hair clippers can fly in carry-on or checked bags when the battery is handled safely and the blades are covered. You toss clippers in a bag, zip it up, and move on. Then the doubt hits: Will TSA take them? Will the battery be an issue? Will the blades get you pulled aside? Good […]

A cheese knife counts as a knife at screening, so pack it in checked baggage or ship it, unless it’s plastic or a blunt, round butter knife. You’ve got a cheese board for a cabin weekend, a gift basket for your host, or a picnic plan right after landing. Then you spot it: the cheese
