What can you not take on airplanes?

Or if anyone has a link so I can read a list, that would help.

Answer 1

Knives of any length, composition or description
Most cutting instruments, including carpet knives and box cutters (and spare blades), any device with a folding or retractable blade, ice picks, straight razors, and metal scissors with pointed tips.
Note: As of 22 December 2005, small scissors with a cutting edge less than four inches (10 cm) and small tools such as pliers and screwdrivers that are less than seven inches (18 cm) in length will be allowed in the cabin.
Lighters, lighter fluid, and strike-anywhere matches (up to four books of safety matches are allowed)
Baseball/softball bats
Golf clubs
Pool cues
Ski poles
Hockey sticks
There are some exceptions for medical and special needs
When in doubt, transport item in checked baggage

Answer 2

Other than metal knives of any length or type, you cannot take on box cutters, ice picks, or straight razors. Also you cannot take on fireworks, flares/flareguns, swingless golf club load strips, mace, tear-gas, pepper spray, fuel, paints, gas torches (including microtorches and torch lighters), flammable glues/epoxies, bleach, spray starch, insecticides, drain cleaners, solvents, spray cans, butane, propane tanks, CO2 cartridges, or self-inflating rafts. Some restrictions on allowed items include no more than 5 liters of alcoholic beverages, up to 11 pounds of ammunition used for sporting that has been checked, up to 4.4 pounds of dry ice in a vented styrofoam container, firearms that have been checked in with the agent and travel in checked baggage, gasoline powered tools such as trimmers/edgers, or chain saws if in original packaging, up to four packages of safety matches, mobility devices such as electric wheelchairs, if battery has been removed, and aerosol deoderant/hairspray, nail polish restricted to 70 ounces.

Answer 3

Prohibited items are weapons, explosives, incendiaries, and include items that are seemingly harmless but may be used as weapons – the so-called “dual use” items. You may not bring these items to or through security checkpoints without authorization.

If you bring a prohibited item to the checkpoint, you may be criminally and/or civilly prosecuted or, at the least, asked to rid yourself of the item. A transportation security officer (TSO – formerly a screener) and/or law enforcement officer will make this determination, depending on what the item is and the circumstances. Bringing a prohibited item to a security checkpoint – even accidentally – is illegal.

Your prohibited item may be detained for use in an investigation and, if necessary, as evidence in your criminal and/or civil prosecution. If permitted by the TSO or law enforcement officer, you may be allowed to: consult with the airlines for possible assistance in placing the prohibited item in checked baggage; withdraw with the item from the screening checkpoint at that time; make other arrangements for the item, such as taking it to your car or mailing it to yourself; or, voluntarily abandon the item. Items that are voluntarily abandoned or confiscated by a law enforcement officer cannot be recovered and will not be returned to you. Property claims for these items will also be denied by TSA.

The following chart outlines items that are permitted and items that are prohibited in your carry-on or checked baggage. You should note that some items are allowed in your checked baggage, but not your carry-on. Also pay careful attention to the “Notes” included at the bottom of each section – they contain important information about restrictions and exceptions.

The prohibited and permitted items chart is not intended to be all-inclusive and is updated as necessary. To ensure everyone’s security, the TSO may determine that an item not on the prohibited items chart is prohibited. In addition, the TSO may also determine that an item on the permitted chart is dangerous and therefore may not be brought through the security checkpoint.

The chart applies to flights originating within the United States. Please check with your airline or travel agent for restrictions at destinations outside of the United States.
