My camera monopod with a somewhat pointed tip (covered by a blunt rubber foot) has never been a problem and has made a few dozen trips with me. Then again, seeing as how the TSA is quibbling over whether or not contact solution is "saline" and has confiscated car keys and even Congressional Medals of Honor, I can see why you would be worried.
