Question about TSA checkpoint
I am visiting my family in Italy from Dec 24th to Jan 4th.
My family and I would like to bring my family some sort of gift from the US. My mom looked on the Baldwin Brass website and was going to buy six candlesticks. Then it occurred to me... bringing six heavy blunt objects through a TSA checkpoint might not be a good idea. So we can't bring something like that on our carry on. What about checked luggage? Well, last year somebody I work with had her laptop stolen. I will be keeping my Macbook and electronics with me in my backpack. What are the chances those TSA dregs are going to have sticky fingers? I would like to bring my suit, a leather blazer and a decent overcoat. Should I risk it and put that in my checked luggage? |

Put the candlesticks in the decent overcoat, it will sail through the screening process. |

If anyone is going to have sticky fingers it's not going to be TSA, more likely baggage handlers, probably the other end. If you are so afraid, why not just stay home. Be sure to double lock your door. |

Another option is to FedEx those candle sticks to them. It'll cost you more money, and give you peace of mind. |

For something like that, my suggestion is to ship them and make sure they're insured. Apparently they have these locks that are TSA approved, the explsove shiffer people can open the bags sniff for bombs and shut the damn things. |
