Has anyone had any troubles transporting ice tools via air travel ? I have had my share of looks since 9/11 airport reforms, We can agree that these tools do look savage if you have no idea what they are used for ? Also, if you have had troubles, which airports have they been, and which airlines ? keep crankin !!!!

No problems if checking them. I wouldn't carry them on!

You couldn't carry on ice tools BEFORE 9/11 either (at least I couldn't). I had forgotten one was in my bag heading onto plane in 1998. I didn't have much luggage so I wasn't planning on checking any of my bags. The guy at security turned me away immediately and I had to go check my bags, missed my flight, and had to take the next flight 3 hours later.

You can carry guns in your checked lugage. Ice tools will be fine.

That's true. People always seem worried about what they can carry in their checked baggage. If it's gonna be checked, practically anything short of a bomb could be in there and they don't care. :)
