"A colleague inadvertently traveled with her stun gun in her laptop bag on a flight three times in 2025, without being stopped by TSA once."
"There's an entire section of TSA's posted online regulations devoted to 'stun guns/shocking devices' outlining that they're not allowed in carry-on bags."
"I reached out to the TSA to reconcile that policy with my friend's three flights packing electro heat. A response took a while, owing to the government shutdown."
A colleague traveled with a stun gun in her laptop bag on three flights in 2025 without detection by TSA. She often forgets to remove it before flying, particularly when commuting through New York's Port Authority. On a round-trip flight from JFK to San Juan and a domestic flight to North Carolina, the stun gun went unnoticed. TSA regulations prohibit stun guns in carry-on bags, requiring them to be checked and rendered inoperable. Despite inquiries, TSA found no reported incidents regarding these missed detections.
