http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/passenger-rights/air-security/index_en.htm will give you an overview but unfortunately the assessment on what constitutes a weapon will be determined by the security on duty on the day at a particular airport. What passes at one may fail at the next.
If you have a direct flight from the States then you will not have a problem. It's when you change aircraft within Europe that you could have a problem. Personally I wouldn't risk it.
If this is correct, then there should be no problem if the airlines align their cabin baggage rules. That said, every safety agency (TSA, CASA, etc) and airline reserves the right to change their own rules, so there will always be a small element of uncertainty.This decision aligns TSA with International Civil Aviation Organization standards and our European counterparts.
Revendon, I am taking my hiking poles along! They are in my backpack and though I am checking it through, in the past it has not been a problem as long as they fit inside your pack. You don't have to leave your poles at home and purchase new ones when you arrive in Spain. If your poles fold and fit inside your backpack you can have them on the plane, it really depends on the TSA agents, -they are a fickle bunchIt seems that I will have to buy my poles there at the hiking shop. Don't know if they will cost more there than on the US.
