[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 383197, member: 537"] My pal [USER=3702]@grayland[/USER] and I have a nice tag team effort on this topic, but he's not around right now, so I will have to go it alone. I have been carrying on my collapsed hiking poles though US security (TSA) for years and have never had a problem. I always have a duffel bag with me so that if I have a problem, I can quickly run and check them. Grayland's experience is the same as mine. I have made connections in NY, but I can't remember if I had to go through security there or not. I realize that there is always a chance that some TSA personnel will exercise their discretion to disallow the poles, but we haven't had it happen to us. I don't think that anyone on the forum has had a personal experience of not being able to carry on hiking poles at a US airport. I have also gone through security in Madrid carrying my hiking poles on various occasions, but I know that I can't carry them home through the Santiago airport, so I always check them. There are lots of threads on this topic, with a lot of strong opinions voiced. Things can always change, but until I hear that someone has been unable to carry them on, I plan to carry on my poles again this May. And just to be clear, this is not a case of us trying to sneak something through security. The poles are there in plain view and they go right through. Buen camino, Laurie [/QUOTE]
