Compression or space bags
Hi, I plan on only taking one carry on bag but will be in countries with summer climates, then very cold climates later.
So I put my floor length, fur hooded down coat in one of those compression bags with the vacuum valve, where you use a vacuum hose to take the air out.
Are there any restrictions with TSA screening or with having these bags in the cabin? I did try an internet search first and the information seemed vague to me.
I will be flying Delta internationally. I can visualize a disaster if for some reason this bag lets loose in the cabin mid-flight!
Thank you in advance for any information that you can share.

The Travel Products forum here has several threads about compression bags/cubes. Here's a typical one:
Compression Packing Cubes- Which brand?
I've suggested to the moderators that they move this thread to that forum. Maybe they will.
