Parents checked them. I've checked them before when i've flown... I would say the biggest problem would be moving between countries.

With my luck I'd get out of the US with them and have problems coming back in.
I think Ill leave them home and not take a chance.

i feel having them in my carry on baggage in original box helps. when i put my stuff through the scanner i put it in its own box just like my liquids and computer. you know they are going to ask and inspect it. make them know, you know, they are going to question it, and you aren't hiding anything. keep a smile on your face.

There are no smiles going through airport security!
Keeping them in the box is a good idea.
Anyone know if they will actually confiscate them or just make me mail them home or check them?

I had a small screw driver at one point in one of my bags and first they asked if there was someone i could give it to (No.) and then if i wanted to send it home. (which i didn't). A dollar screw driver? Take more money to send it than to just buy a new one.

So if they don't like it... they'll give you some options. Would i trust USPS with them? No. And more importantly? Are you going to make your flight if you have to make a pit stop at some UPS counter to mail everything?

How long are you going to be gone for? Chancing with one might be acceptable. Im also fairly certain that if you check them... and they have an issue and you have your name visible that they'll call you to some service desk to be like "wtf is this?"

We have to be there 2 hours before Ill just make sure I make time! I just dont want them to be confiscated.
Two of my trips are a week and one is 10 days.
All long flights so I look to find something to keep me busy.

I bought the gunmetal revomaze in America and am now trying to figure out how to bring home.
Would you suggest putting it in my checked bag in original packing? Last thing I want is for TSA to keep my puzzle hostage when I have no idea when I get to return to America.
