Hi folks,

For those who may not know, there is a list of prohibited / restricted items via air travel posted on the TSA website.  Something to keep in mind as you prepare for your 2006 hunt.  Here's the link:

http://www.tsa.gov/interweb/assetlibrary/Permitted_Prohibited_9_6_2005.pdf

Among the prohibited items are matches (any type) in checked luggage.  You are allowed to carry up to four books of safety (not strikes-anywhere) matches in your carry-on.

Pepper spray normally used for bear protection is a prohibited item in the quantities usually found.  You are allowed to carry up to 4 ounces of mace in your checked luggage, but that's it.

Hope this helps!

Regards,

-Mike
