Which weapons can a person legally bring on an airplane?

[Don Vito Corleone]

I think the problem with mace, even in checked luggage, is not the nature of the agent, but its propellant. Technically I don't think you can bring ANY aerosol can on a plane, so if she declares it they'll shoot her down.

Is there non-aerosol mace? I've never really shopped for anything like that stuff.

A fork, maybe?

Speaking of forks, who else is annoyed when they eat at a nice, full service restaurant in an airport and have to use plastic utensils?

heh... i know what you're talking about. But yeah, what if a bunch of terrorists storm the plane dual-wielding two plastic knives.

I have a knobed stick, but i don't call it a mace.

She might get away with a rubber band and a paper clip, emphasis on the MIGHT!

I don't think they want mace/pepper spray in checked luggage either. If the can didn't make it through the pressure changes, they would have a mess on their hands.

You can bring aerosol things in small quantities (the TSA lists personal care and toiletries). Obviously a normal can of hair spray is bigger then a thing of mace, so the aerosol probably isn't the problem.

Mace is also cheap enough that she could buy it there, if she can't take it.

You always over-exaggerate. :|

The only weapons allowed onboard are obnoxious children and offensive body odour.

So much for the rubber band / paper clip theory
