    TSA Website - TSA Prohibited Items

    http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm

    Razor-Type Blades - such as box cutters, utility knives, razor blades not in a cartridge, but excluding safety razors. I think a shaving razor would be fine...

    I don't think a belt will be an issue (unless you are carrying a weapon). :laugh:

    i don't think you can bring a razor, but im not sure lol it might be best to just not bring one, or if you do put it in your luggage not your carry on

    Funny story about airport security.

    So my buddy was living down in Atlanta and flew out to Denver to see some old friends. One was an old roommate of his from Atlanta. The last day before he was gonna return home, the guy is like "Hey man, i forgot to return this jiggsaw". It was one of those powered ones. He takes the blades out and shoves it in his backpack, cause there was no space left in his check on bag. Gets to the Denver Airport. The security runs his bag thru and gave him a rash of *kitten*. "Sir, you can't carry this jiggsaw onto the plane." He's like "Why not? I took the blades out." The guy is like "Well you can't bring power tools on the flight. Period." He's like "What there's no outlet to plug it into...you kiddin me? This thing is like a 100 dollar jigsaw." Unfortunately, he had to relinguish it to the authorities.

    (Side Note: Some security puke is probably enjoying that jigsaw at his home in Denver)

    Anyway, he gets home and starts unpacking his bags. Realizes he left the jigsaw blades in the front compartment on his backpack.

    So this is the plan we came up with for anyone who wants to sneak a gun or bomb onto an airplane.
    Its the oldest trick in the book. Misdirection.

    You put the glock semi-automatic handgun in the side pocket of your bag. Then you stuff a live dog into the large compartment. Security guard finds the dog. "Sir/Ma'am you can't bring this live dog on the plane." NO?!?!? Oh okay, well keep it then. Bam you got a firearm onto a commercial flight.

    BOOYAHH!!!!!
