Easy-Off Oven Cleaner as a Weapon

[Kid Shelleen]

Since you can't travel with the Easy Off can (explosive), you'd have to leave it when you flew home.  I wonder if that same local convience store might sell a cheap pocket knife or steak knife that might cost the same of less than the oven cleaner (since you'd have to leave it too)?

How about tactical pens? Has anyone made it on a plane with one? Are they allowed?

Your not allowed to take a screwdriver on a plane. 

After making it all the way onto the plane, they refused to let me take a 2 piece fishing rod unless the flight attendant kept it in her possesion locked in a cabinet!  Bare fishing rod, no hooks, or even a reel (had it custom made while in Minnisota and didnt want the baggage monkeys destroying it).

Everybody knows ninja's train with screw drivers and fishing rods right?

The problem with using Easy Off of any other commercial product to defend yourself is..."YOU WILL BE ARRESTED FOR FELONY ASSAULT"

You cannot use acids, lyes and the like to defend yourself!

 If the product blinds or otherwise leaves permanent scarring you can also be charged with "MAIMING" which can get you an additional 20 YEAR SENTENCE!

Also YOU WILL BE SUED AND LOSE THAT SUIT.

I think the one exception to that would be if you were in your kitchen, cleaning your oven and someone sneaks up and attacks you. You didn't plan on using something that would maim or permanently blind. You just happened to have it in your hand for it's intended purpose.

I've taken them on planes many times.  I've only had a problem once, in LA:  Bag went through, they sent it through a second time, searched it, removed the pen, send the bag and the tactical pen (Tom Anderson Ti Twister) through separately.  They gave them back to me and let me continue. (actually, they gave me the bag, and the shoulder strap snagged the bowl the pen was in, sending it skittering across the marble floor.  I winced, they shrugged and handed me the pen.  I didn't find any damage)

What pen might look like (not my exact model, but mine is of the same series)

Um, you are aware you could spend some serious time in the clink for trying to carry one on, right? A plain old Bic will work just as good and no prison time if they find it and wish to proscecute. You must have many enemies lying in wait to risk jail for this, Grasshopper!    Try the Bic, it will work until you get to the ninja store wherever you are going!

Where's th crime with a tactical pen? Its not a probited item, no blades, cs or zip gun capabilty. Just a really strong pen. If it is a crime let us know but I don't see the violation. Now if you tryto carry on a lexa knife or something.......
