It's possible you MAY come across a hard-up TSA agent who thinks they're smarter than the average bear when seeing a crenelated bezel-edge, however I've never had any issue.


I've got an old Surefire Lumamax LX2, uses CF123A Batts, that I EDC. Haven't flown commercially in several years but I've got a trip coming up next month.

Based on your experience with TSA, what do you think they'll do with a flashlight like this?

The last several flights I have been on, I carried a Fenix E35 V 3.0 with no issues.

Delta, American and Allegant.
