Will TSA take my vape out of my carry-on?
If you are a traveler and a vaper, you may have asked yourself if the TSA will take your vape out of your carry-on. The answer is yes, they can, and in fact they do. The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) is responsible for the security of all flights and passengers, and they take their job very seriously.
TSA Regulations
The TSA has specific regulations regarding the transport of electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices. All electronic cigarettes, vaporizers, and other vaping devices must be placed in carry-on luggage. This means that they cannot be placed in checked luggage.
In addition, all batteries and e-liquids must be removed from the device and placed in a separate, secure container. The container must be able to be closed, such as a Ziploc bag or other secure container. All batteries must be removed from the device and the e-liquid must be in a sealed container.
Vaping at the Airport
Vaping is not allowed in any airport terminal, and this includes the waiting areas and the gates. It is also not allowed on any aircraft, including the planes and helicopters. Vaping is also not allowed in the bathrooms of the airport or in any other areas of the airport. This includes the parking lots, restaurants, and shops.
What to Expect When Going Through Security
When going through security, it is important to remember that all vaping devices and batteries must be removed from the device and placed in a secure container. It is also important to remember that all e-liquid must be in a sealed container. If the TSA agents see any e-liquid that is not in a sealed container, they will likely confiscate it.
The TSA agents may also inspect the vaping device and the battery. If they see any signs of tampering or damage, they may confiscate the device. If the TSA agents have any questions, they will ask you about the device and the battery.
Conclusion
