TSA Rule on Walking Sticks / Trekking Poles
I am thinking of getting a pair of retractable hiking poles for my trip next week....they will need to go through security at FLL, LAX, LIH and KOA. The ends are not sharp, but still pointy like ski poles.
Has anyone encountered problems or hassles taking something like this through the checkpoint as carry-on? Any advise from the screeners?
