Do I Have Permission to Carry Pepper Spray on a Plane?
Short answer is “yes”, provided that you meet TSA specifications and your airline’s policies.
Most airlines allow passengers to pack small amounts of pepper spray in checked luggage (although United has regulations that differ from TSA). Pepper spray canisters should have safety mechanisms built-in that prevent accidental discharge; furthermore, check to see if your destination country imposes restrictions or laws against carrying it as this can change over time.
Be mindful of TSA regulations when packing pepper spray for travel. Doing so will speed up security screening processes as it shows clearly that your item complies with TSA rules, alert baggage handlers of its contents and help prevent leakage during transit.
