Can I bring a pocket knife on the plane?
No, pocket knives are not allowed in carry-on bags or on your person when going through the security checkpoint. According to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations, any sharp object, including pocket knives with blades of any length, are prohibited in the cabin of an aircraft. However, you are permitted to pack pocket knives in your checked luggage as long as the blades are securely wrapped or sheathed to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors. TSA advises that it is always best to double-check their website for the latest information on permitted and prohibited items before your flight to ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey through airport security.
