Great info, I’m traveling next week and love the Air Tag idea.
Traveled back in the day with my PC in carry on, whenleaving JFK
A TSA agent was miserable telling me no tools can be in carry on
Took a while to settle her down

I arrived with everything intact!

Thanks, folks, for throwing in some ideas.

Check the TSA website Prohibited Items list for valuable info.

If push came to shove with them I would've pulled up the list and proved my compliance.

They're more liberal with checked bag allowances but I like to carry on the important, expensive stuff.

I bought my gf an airtag just for traveling. I have Tiles. Too many people lose their bags. I had a pair of safety wire pliers in my carryon that were longer than allowed. One of the agents in St. Thomas was showing me how to use them. He was obviously a little more chill.
