Shall we send equipment thru Fedex and pay high insurance. Or send photo equipment thru the airline cargo, and also pay enormous ammount in insurance. It seems in my future there will be less flying.

New 2009 TSA Rules: You can now carry on liquids up to 3.4 oz. It's about time! A common worldwide package size for toiletries is 100ml, which translates to 3.38 oz (NOT 3.0 oz). Finally, the TSA caught up with the rest of the world. The official TSA web site with new 2009 3.4 oz liquid carry on rules: http://www.tsa.gov/311/index.shtm The following TSA article clarifies that as of 2009, liquids up to 3.4 oz are allowed to be carried on all USA planes and how the TSA 3.4 oz / 3.0 oz. liquid policy confusion happened: http://www.tsa.gov/blog/2009/02/3-oz-or-34-oz-what-gives.html We manufacture a very popular men's grooming line of shaving, skin and hair products (www.men-uusa.com) and this confusion has been a real pain to our customers until 2009.

So, I got a monopod and checked the TSA website. While it's not strictly forbidden, club like objects are listed. I guess I will be checking a bag since Lufthansa specifically says ``no blunt objects'' Thanks for writing about this, it was good to see some recent discussion on this so close to my travel date!
