Can you pick the items permitted as carry-on by the TSA, without picking banned items?
Click the matching answer button below Correctly selected answers will show up in green Source: TSA Note: Even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses other security concerns. The final decision rests with TSA on whether to deny any items on the plane. Some items permitted by the TSA may be denied by the airline operator. Also try: Top 10 Things Kids Stick Up Their Noses

needapausebutton : Nov 19th, 2012 at 17:35 GMT 18 points And here I've been checking my monkees in all these years!
Hejman : Nov 20th, 2012 at 03:31 GMT 14 points "If you're traveling with a Colobus, please secure your own oxygen mask and then assist him with his."
MisterF : Nov 20th, 2012 at 04:40 GMT 5 points And here I was under the impression that tubas would not be allowed because they are too big to fit overhead or below the seat in front of you.
JayO : Nov 20th, 2012 at 05:18 GMT 7 points Perhaps you can purchase a seat for your tuba
laschmela : Nov 20th, 2012 at 09:30 GMT 20 points Handcuffs, bungee cords, and pie sounds like a good time. Who says the TSA is no fun?
MrChewypoo : Nov 20th, 2012 at 13:01 GMT 6 points Tuba was incorrect, you're right it needs to be checked because of the size. Smaller instruments are allowed though. I've fixed the clue. Thanks!
bfinan11 : Nov 20th, 2012 at 16:27 GMT 10 points Is that a TSA policy though? I would think the tuba is simply too big, not inherently dangerous. And once the monkeys get past the TSA, I would think customs might have something to say about that one.
dolebanana : Nov 20th, 2012 at 18:47 GMT 6 points What is the justification for banning snow globes? Is it the liquid inside?
311rvmt : Nov 20th, 2012 at 19:41 GMT 6 points Does the TSA allow any monkey in the cabin, or only helper monkeys for the disabled? I imagine it is the same with dogs (no pets in the cabin, but helper dogs allowed).
Geo1 : Nov 20th, 2012 at 20:12 GMT 5 points Wait! I'm perfectly able to bring a monkey on a plane, but I can't bring a snow globe on?
MrChewypoo : Nov 20th, 2012 at 21:04 GMT 11 points According to the TSA, pets and animals can be transported in carry-on or checked baggage to the extent permitted by the airline operator. All pets and animals are subject to non-x-ray screening.
MrChewypoo : Nov 20th, 2012 at 21:09 GMT 18 points Small snow globes that appear to contain less than 3.4 ounces (100 ml - approximately tennis ball size) will be permitted if the entire snow globe, including the base, is able to fit in the same one clear, plastic, quart-sized, re-sealable bag. Yes, it's because they don't know what kind of liquid could be inside.

bsumemrs93 : Jan 17th, 2013 at 15:06 GMT 72 points So you're telling me I can take monkeys on the plane but not large snow globes. You learn something everyday on Sporcle.
clutch299 : Jan 17th, 2013 at 15:12 GMT 8 points My mom got her knitting needles taken from her at an airport once.
moviegoer74 : Jan 17th, 2013 at 15:17 GMT 71 points I wear steel toe boots to the airport because I find my feet get stepped on all the time. And I always handcuff my monkey to myself at the airport so that I don't lose him. For the same reason I usually strap my fishing rod and tennis racket to my back with duct tape and bungee cords. And of course I take my grandfather's ashes with me everywhere I go. Fortunately, none of this poses a problem getting through TSA security.
WyattsTorch : Jan 17th, 2013 at 15:17 GMT 1 point Blasting caps aren't allowed in carry-on? Stunned.
PureKStyle : Jan 17th, 2013 at 15:28 GMT 16 points So I can't bring my hand grenade collection with me on an airplane?
itsacon : Jan 17th, 2013 at 15:38 GMT 17 points I want to know what possessed TSA to even make a decision on the permissibility of monkeys as a carry-on item.
yougoglenncoco : Jan 17th, 2013 at 15:41 GMT 3 points Be careful about corkscrews though, they can't contain the knife at the side or else they get confiscated. I know from personal experience :(
venu77 : Jan 17th, 2013 at 15:46 GMT 30 points I don't always fly, but when I do....I prefer to bring my monkey.
perun99 : Jan 17th, 2013 at 15:46 GMT 41 points All this time I've been checking my monkeys with the rest of my luggage like a sucker when I could have been carrying them on with me.
Comment below threshold: show it Sbb618 : Jan 17th, 2013 at 15:52 GMT -15 points corkscrews, monkeys, steel toed boots: yes. bowling balls, ski poles, ice skates: no. AMERICA!
eab21 : Jan 17th, 2013 at 16:01 GMT 54 points But the real question is, can you bring snakes on a plane?
Comment below threshold: show it MattAtkins : Jan 17th, 2013 at 16:20 GMT -14 points what are ums?
Colmar : Jan 17th, 2013 at 16:25 GMT 43 points Just make sure there are no liquids in your monkey, or you'll have to empty him before boarding.
yearofglad : Jan 17th, 2013 at 16:54 GMT 13 points @MattAtkins In uppercase, it's URNS. Does that make it clearer?
NoPepper : Jan 17th, 2013 at 17:00 GMT 10 points And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair. And this monkey. That's all I need. And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine, the chair and the monkey. And these ice skates. And this urn.
Gilligan : Jan 17th, 2013 at 17:18 GMT -1 points lolmonkeys
newenglander : Jan 17th, 2013 at 17:27 GMT 9 points The monkey boutique at the Dubai airport does a killer business with US-bound customers. Buyers can pick from 12 different species.
trivial : Jan 17th, 2013 at 17:40 GMT 12 points Guess I don't need to find a monkey sitter now for my upcoming trip. What a relief!
Comment below threshold: show it TheFlyingBarney : Jan 17th, 2013 at 18:24 GMT -14 points Vehicle airbags, banned so that in the event of a crash there will be no survivors to say "The pilot left the controls to go and have sex with an air hostess in the toilets"
AtomicIce : Jan 17th, 2013 at 18:32 GMT 8 points I can take pies on a plane?? Sweet! Next time I want to start a food fight on a plane, I'll be "armed".
Comment below threshold: show it Anne13 : Jan 17th, 2013 at 18:32 GMT -5 points @TheFlyingBarney, Air hostess? LOL What an incredibly backward term.
nadivereb : Jan 17th, 2013 at 19:01 GMT 0 points Damn. So you're telling me that I can't take my monkey, handcuff and large snow ball collection with me as a whole? I'm awfully disappointed.
mrtode : Jan 17th, 2013 at 22:22 GMT 5 points "Monkeys" was so ridiculous that I knew it had to be right. (Plus, I feel a lot safer with a monkey on the plane.)
singin185 : Jan 17th, 2013 at 22:52 GMT 6 points How would you like to be in charge of TSA when the question of monkeys came across your desk? You know they hadn't made a decision until someone tried to bring a monkey on a plane.
mrsiriustab : Jan 18th, 2013 at 00:04 GMT 2 points Monkeys. No way. To the airport I go!
poiu : Jan 18th, 2013 at 00:33 GMT 6 points I don't know what possessed me to guess chainsaws...
ChileNoseJam : Jan 18th, 2013 at 00:34 GMT 3 points You could make a song out of these.
wanderbygrace : Jan 18th, 2013 at 01:25 GMT 1 point The carry-on rule that TSA seems to have wanted: "If you can CARRY it ON, it's not allowed".
