As pointed out, lead crystal will almost assuredly require TSA to open your bag. Then it becomes fair game.

Mrs. GHF ran afoul of the TSA screeners at one airport when carrying Lenox crystal figurines. The screeners insisted they be checked. With some perserverance and the interjection of a supervisor, she was allowed to carry them onboard. The whole incident reminded me of the occasion where a TSA screener told the CEO of my former employer's international operation that he "had to check his laptop or he would not fly that day". At their insistance he did, with predictable results.
