[philmont] What you can carry on an airline.

Last year while checking in at Denver airport the ticket agent/baggage
check-in saw a group of Scouts coming and before saying anything else asked
how many fuel canisters we had. Our group had four cleaned out, aired out
and no scent white fuel canisters in our checked baggage. We had to dig them
out and throw them away. We were told we could go down the hall and ship
them home. The stoves passed the smell test, so we could keep them.

 This happens every year.

The website is NOT THE ENTIRE STORY ON WHAT YOU CAN BRING ON AN AIRPLANE.
That is only the TSA list. The FAA has a list and the Airlines have a list.
The TSA list is only what you can carry on board in the passenger
compartment. What goes in baggage is different and a different list.

Before you rely on anything contact the airline you are flying on. I've had
some say to me the stoves must be brand new in the box. I've had some say
the stoves must not smell of fuel and I've some not care.

Some have brought me off the airplane down to baggage to open bags so they
could inspect the stoves after they were discovered in the baggage x-ray.
They simply smelled them.

The TSA site is just 1/3 of the entire picture.
