Safety Razor With Blades (allowed without blade)

Carry On Bags: No
Checked Bags: Yes

A Safety Razor is allowed through the screening checkpoint without the blade. The blade must be removed prior to entering the screening checkpoint. TSA officers are not authorized to remove the blades from the holder. Any sharp objects in checked baggage should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors.

For more prohibited items, please go to the 'What Can I Bring?' page.
The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.
