    TSA has a different take on this. The valve must be removed to allow visual inspection. So you could fly with your own tanks if you removed the valve, reinspect, and reassembly.

    TSA guidelines allow tanks if they have the valve removed during shipment so they can be looked inside.

    Can you say "new VIP"?

    Funny thing about the Delta website on what I can or cannot take.

    • Liquid Oxygen is not allowed. go figure....
    • I can only take 11 pounds of ammunition
    • You are allowed to take a 'personal flotation device', but you have to take it in checked luggage.
    • I can't take my chainsaw.
    • I can't take any of my radioactive materials
    • No plastic knives for meals are allowed, but yet they will allow me to take hair spray and matches.

    I think the best is that the TSA says you can take a parachute as a carry-on, you just can't wear it.

    makes sense re: the TSA, but why wouldn't the airlines change their info?

    I saw that and just thought it was strange to see????

    I know someone who did carry their parachute on, just after 9/11/01. She was nervous about TSA and their rules. She was traveling on business, to a location with good sky diving and some off time. What was interesting is that TSA missed a small emergency knife that my friend forgot about.

    mike_s, I think all US airlines allow the 11 pounds of ammo, ONLY IF DECLARED and in suitable packaging, factory boxes.
