So, question 1, will I still be allowed to carry this equipment for domestic travel? I am certain that the international restrictions would get it banished to the hold, but as of now, I am only scheduled for domestic travel.
There are several reasons why you haven't gotten a specific answer.
  • None of us are fortune tellers. Asking what TSA might do in the future is folly in any case. Not even people who work for TSA know.
  • It's not possible to give a straight answer. TSA has lists of items which are prohibited and permitted ... but then backtracks and says that TSOs can deny anything on the permitted list at any time, if they feel that the item constitutes a security risk.

The best that we can hope for is that folks who are in your situation can offer their experiences. Keep in mind, though, that your mileage may vary.
