Anyone have any "gotchas" or horror stories to watch out for with the TSA? I definitely want to make sure my helmet and hans are in my carry on so I can keep an eye on them.
Cheers all, see you next month.
I have had no issues on Southwest (or TSA at MDW, DEN, & KCI) with helmet, backpack, and carry on-suitcase. Suitcase and helmet into overhead bin, backpack under the seat in front of you.
Depending on the material your HANS is made of, I could see them wanting to take a look at it -- some composites look very dense on scanners, apparently. Had a mmWave full body scan and they asked to see my carbon fiber wallet in my cargo shorts pocket, and seemed somewhat in disbelief when they saw it was just a wallet.
When I fly from CMP->HPR in a couple months I am considering going Stig style: full racing gear donned, visor down, no words....
