Dumb Skillet Tricks?
I have one of those really good, old cast iron skillets I want to take with me from the US to my home in Europe. It's not huge, about 8 inches, and weighs a few pounds.
Am I crazy to think I could take this in carry-on into the cabin of my flight(s)?

Pack it carefully and mark it Fragile, if you want. If staff have not seen one before, they are probably going to say No.
I'd say no. I had a bicycle lock sealed in that armour plated plastic stuff that requires a chainsaw to open taken off me as it quote' could be used as a weapon or restraint device'.
I am of the opinion a certain security officer at Gatwick now has a very secure bike!

At Gatwick, they once took a combination tool from me, where the blade was only 2" (rules at the time being 4") but this was deemed illegal and thrown in the bin.

And yet oddly, I've travelled through numerous airports with Kensington locks in my hand luggage. You know, the ones with the built in noose.
A mate of mine once got stopped with a brand new bike chain in his bag. After a training session with his supervisor the security bod let him and it through.

As a diver i fly with my valuable/heavy items in hand luggage to beat the loco weight limits. This includes my regulators and a steel backplate from my harness (4kg 30cm x 40cm) Never had any problems.
