Frequently asked questions

Is CanIBringThis affiliated with the TSA?

No. We are an independent resource that summarizes and links to official TSA, FAA, and CBP guidance. We are not a government agency and don't speak on their behalf.

How accurate is the information on this site?

Every verdict is checked by a person against an official source before publishing, with the verification date shown on the page. See our methodology page for the full process.

What if a rule has changed since the page was last verified?

Rules do change. If you're relying on an answer for an unusual or high-stakes item, double-check with your airline or the TSA's AskTSA service before you travel.

I found an item that seems wrong. How do I report it?

Please use our contact page to let us know — include the item name and what you believe is incorrect, ideally with a link to the official source.

Do carry-on rules apply the same way to every airline?

TSA screening rules are federal and apply at every U.S. airport checkpoint regardless of airline. Some items (like size/weight limits or specific equipment policies) can vary by airline — when that's the case, we note it on the item's page.
