  1. If possible, get from your Doctor a “medical certification” that you need Special Items during travel maybe especially on the flight.

    e.g. medicine and a cane

  2. Thanks for a wonderful article. I always carry an epicenter in my liquids bag and have never had a problem at security. Though I have never had an allergic reaction needing it, they can start anytime in life. There are now less expensive alternatives.
    I notice that you have benedryl which is good for less severe reactions.

      1. In 30+ years of business and personal travel I’ve only ever had a bag permanently lost 1 time, and mis-routed but returned 3-4 times. I know it happens, but I’ve been incredibly lucky.

  3. JMD-enjoying this series and my Amazon cart is filling rapidly (Dude Wipes cracks me up!). Quick question: the SOG Traveler appears to have 2 blades on the Amazon link which TSA would not allow correct? What am I missing?Looking forward to the rest of the series.

  4. I read further on the Amazon reviews and SOGs own description and its TSA compliant but I still don’t know why. Obviously I don’t fly often (as in not in over 30 years!)

      1. Now I got it. Amazon’s description section was describing the Powerlock line in general which includes blades, not the specific Traveler tool. Thanks.

  5. This is really a superb article. I love these “break out” lists with photos and explanations + background of how the items came to be added.

    Excellent job!

    1. Thanks – I have a sillcock key in my checked bag. I covered that in my original article, and I didn’t want to repeat too much of that in an effort to keep the size of this article manageable (and it still ended up being 4 parts 8-))

  6. A correction – the Uniden BCD325P2 that I mentioned does NOT receive encrypted communications, but it does receive digital and trunked ones. Sorry for the mistake.
