trickworm on March 24, 2026 12:32 am I bring tackle and hooks all the time through TSA in carryon. The only issue Iâve ever had is with lead weights bc they are so dense.
H_I_McDunnough on March 24, 2026 12:40 am TSA aren’t getting paid right now and some airport TSA checks are being staffed by ICE agents. I’m not trying to get political at all, but I’m also not sure how that is affecting things. Just noting that it might be something to consider.

ICE might deport you
