Most of us know we can’t bring weapons or liquids greater than 3.4 ounces in our carry-on bags. But even frequent flyers might not know about five random things that are also banned.
Fertilizer is banned in both carry-on luggage and checked bags because it can explode, according to the HuffPost.
The outlet says you can get a false positive on airport security swab tests from touching fertilizer.
Bowling pins need to be checked.
The Transportation Security Administration says sports equipment like bats and clubs aren’t allowed in your carry-on because they could be used as a bludgeon.
On the flip side, HuffPost says you are allowed to bring bowling balls in your carry-on.
Electric heating pads good.
Gel heating pads bad.
It’s probably because the TSA needs all carry-on liquids to follow the 3.4 ounces or less rule.
Sorry, kids.
Slingshots need to go in your checked luggage, not your carry-on.
They could be used as a weapon on-board.
You need to eyeball your snow globe before boarding.
The TSA says one containing less than 3.4 ounces of liquid would be the size of a tennis ball.
If it looks bigger than that, it needs to be checked.
It can only go in your carry-on if the entire snow globe, including the base, can fit in the quart-sized resealable plastic bag.
