Will my hot pot pass TSA?
Would there be any reason why I couldn't take this through the TSA checkpoints? It'll be in my rollaboard.... probably stuffed with socks to safe space haha.
It's a 32 oz hot water electric pot. I normally travel with it on vacation, but it has always flown in my checked luggage. I would think it would be ok.... but you all are the experts!! HELP- TIA!!

Odds are , you will be fine. But as pointed out, depends on who or where the TSA may take interest and err on the side of caution. Can you carry the instruction pages of the pot to show to teh skeptical agent../ supervisor in case ?

I routinely travel with a "George Forman" grill. I've learned when Im running late to pull it out of my hand bag and put it in a bin. Makes for an easier security check point.
