I flew to KS to see a friend and packed my shavette in the checked baggage. After I got there, I was glad to see it was still in the luggage. Big relief that they didn't confiscate it or anything. Well, after I got back home a few days later and started unpacking, the razor was gone. I remember laying it in a specific spot at my friend's house, meaning to put it in the luggage later. It either got misplaced in KS or was taken from the luggage. : (

I plan to use one for travel for reasons just like this.

Hi Kyle,
I can't imagine that they would just open your luggage and take it. With terrorism laws being what they are, I would expect that if your luggage were detained and examined, you would be too. Since that didn't happen, it's probably still in KS.

I flew to Los Vegas awhile back and when I got to Vegas my luggage had stickers over the clasps saying that it had been opened for a security check, but i wasn't bothered. If they opened your bag it should have had them.Quote:

Thanks for the replies, that makes me feel a little better. I guess I'll ask my friend to look around the house again. That shavette has gotta be somewhere!

Shavette?!?! Time to graduate. Sounds like it's meant to be to me. :lol:

I am not sure when but I heard that is possible that the TSA is going to relax some of the security laws like allowing you to fly with clippers, nail files, razors again...really-it has been all over the news.
As for the TSA regulations, I heard that too. Starting soon, they won't make everybody take off their shoes :? And about graduating from the shavette--it's just my travel razor, in case of situations like this one!
Flew out to El Paso, put my zippo into my checked bag, since you can't carry them on board any longer. Had no problems, came back, El Paso airport removed it, and put a not stating that they did. I don't remember the law saying you couldn't carry it in checked baggage.
Yeah, that's one of their new ways to piss off the entire smoking public. No lighters can be carried on your person, carry-on, or checked baggage. In the case of Richard Reid (the Atlantic shoe bomber that just couldn't get that fuse to light), I can understand parts 1 & 2. However, there must be some new security risk causing lighters to spontaneously combust at altitude.
Personally, I think it's a way to generate more revenue selling lighters at the airport.
We gotta stand up or prety soon we will be living in a place that only looks like the America we all love! :x
Freedom rocks! :D
Unlike a regular str8, you can take a Shavette in your carry-on as long as you put the blades in your checked luggage.
I would never fly with my str9s. You'll have to put it in the checked luggage and you're just asking for it to be stolen.

Whenever I fly and have "weird things with me, I make sure that they note this down when checking in.
I started doing this when, about 14 years ago, I started taking a mini coffeemaker with me on my trips. Plastic, wiring and metal were never taken lightly in certain combinations, but they have never opened my luggage nor was anything ever removed.
