Hi, all,
I dive with a small bailout bottle (a 6, twice as big as a Spare Air, still pretty small). When I fly I have to list it as a "special item" of checked baggage and pay a big fee for it. It's occurred to me that this bottle is small enough to carry aboard comfortably, but I don't know if security would let me through with it (obviously the valve would be off so they could see inside it). I'm off to the TSA website shortly to see what I can find, but I was wondering if anyone here has ever done this or has any information. Thanks for any input!
