Can I bring a gameboy on board an airplane?

[FleshLight]

I'm flying from CA to WA. The last time I've flown was 5 years ago...

 

[clicknext]

I did and it didn't crash... ^_^

 

[booger711]

yes
use it at all times
how else will they be able to transfer control of the craft to you in case of emergency?

 

[FleshLight]

Bleh I thought the baggage checkers would think it was an explosive device or it would bring radio interference.

i did before but it was YEAR YEARS YEARS ago. Before 9-11.

As long as this "GameBoy" of yours doesn't have a knife concealed in it or acts as a remote to detonate the bomb you put inside the plane, you should be fine

 

[mitchafi]

Of course you can.

 

[Atomicus]

They don't have problems with laptops or ipods.... I'm pretty sure a GB would be fine

same

You can still bring all approved electronic devices onboard. It's all the same ones as before 911 I would assume. Check out the FAA website.

Sure, but if you turn it off the plane will crash. Unless the Simpsons lied to me. They wouldn't do that, would they?

 

[warcrow]

No no...Gameboy's are banned....but M-16's are totally fine.

This _must_ be a parody thread..

somebody slap this guy with a trout.

I'm sure they'll just ask you to power it off during take-off and landing. Usually, this is the only time they worry about interference.

This past Wednesday, my 10 y.o. daughter was caught with a scissors as she was trying to board the plane. They just confiscated the scissors and she was able to board the plane. She just brought it along to cut some crafts - but, completely forgot about the security issues. I'm kind of impressed that the screeners caught it. :thumbsup:

Next time bring pyrex scissors. Just in case you need to thwart a hijacking attempt.

if they think you can kill someone with nail clippers, then safety scissors are a no no

Can you bring floss aboard? You can choke someone with that

or use your keys to gouge some eyes out.

 

[thejackal1]

or your fists.. you could punch someone out.

how did this thread go from "what is safe to bring on a plane" to "how to hijack a plane with nothing but floss, keys, and your fists"
