Traveler Warned Female Passengers They Might Get Stopped By TSA Workers In Many States If They Have A Common Self Defense Device
by Matthew Gilligan
A word to the wise…if you’re planning to go to an airport any time in the future, you’re going to want to heed the advice of a TikTokker named Tayler.
She posted a video and shared some advice about a common item that women carry that is apparently a no-no at airports and might get you stopped and questioned by the TSA.
Tayler is referring to cat eyes, a small self-weapon weapon similar to a pair of brass knuckles.
She said, “Just be careful when you’re packing if you keep this in your purse for protection.”
If you happen to be flying soon, you might want to study the info below.
Cat eyes are illegal in:
Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, and Washington.
They are legal with a license in:
Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
And they are completely legal in:
Arizona, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.
Here’s what she had to say.
