Question

On a domestic flight in the USA, can I put mace and pocket knife in the checked (not carry on)bag?

Answer 1

Yea you bet. You can even take it in your hand luggage.

Answer 2

Yes! Both of these can be placed in your luggage on US flights. For more information (and a list of luggage concerns from sharp objects to liquids to makeup and medication) go to http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/p... which is a Transport and Security website for the USA that talks about it all. Good luck in your travels!

Answer 3

Pocket knife...yes

Mace...no

Answer 4

Both can be in the checked baggage.  Here is the specific restriction on the mace (from the above-cited TSA website):

One 118 ml or 4 Fl. oz. container of mace or pepper spray is permitted in checked baggage provided it is equipped with a safety mechanism to prevent accidental discharge.

Answer 5

Pocket knife is OK - just checked one to Rome.
