Problems with pins on planes?

[GoofyDan]

Has anybody ever had (or heard of) problems with having pins in checked baggage? Since I started planning our trip, I've been buying pins for my wife and had planned to surprise her with them on the the plane.

I can't find were pins would be prohibited on the TSA list, and I can't imagine where they'd be much of a threat. What am I gonna do -- take six hours to pierce a flight attendant to death with a Haunted Mansion lanyard pin?

You'll probably be ok - personally I wouldn't chance having them confiscated. Wait till you get to your resort

We have about 6 pins on the camera bag. We have never had a problem, either coming or going.

I bought one of the pin books to keep my collection in and had it packed in my bag. Nothing was wrong or checked.

Both on my kids bought laynards and pins on our last trip and had them in their carry-on bags on the way home and they did not say a thing.

i always bring my pins with me onto the plane and never have a problem. I actually keep my lanyard in one of the small wdw souvenir bags so if they do have a problem i can just pull it out quickly for them to look at. but the last 4 times i've gone it's been no problem at all

I packed our 2 Just Married buttons for our honeymoon in my carry on bag, with that same fear in mind. Nobody said a word to me about them.

I have been worried about this too, but it has never been a problem. My kids all put theirs in their carry ons (probably about 20 each) and I have about 7 on my carry on bag and they have been fine.

Last few trips my pin bag has had a tsa note attached saying opened for inspection. I buy a lot of pins. Must look suspiscious to an x-ray.

I have never had a problem with getting my pins on a plane, so you should have no worries about this, you are allowed to wear your pins on the plane

 

[OneLuckyMom]

Metal scissors metal with pointed tips and blades shorter than four inches in length are allowed. Pins have only a small sharp point - probably half an inch or less. You'll be fine.

And body piercings, which are probably the closest item to pins, are allowed as well.

I forgot to mention this....I'm really terrified to fly. Last time I flew, I met the pilot and told him about my fears. At the end of the flight, to be funny, he brought me a pair of 'wings' that they normally give to children when they fly. They used to be a pin. He was required to rip the pin part off now, when giving the pins away, and just give people the plastic wings.

Still, I didn't have problems packing my Disney pins.

Wow, I never thought of this! I've already bought lanyards & a few pins from E-bay so the kids can hit the ground running when we get to the parks, so they will be in our carry-ons. I would have been really bummed if they'd have been disallowed at the checkpoint. Good to know we'll be alright.

We took them on the plane last year w/ no problems - even wearing the lanyards around our necks.
