[ICOM] HT on airline question

[Jerry Kessler]

John,

See FAA guidance at 
https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/hazmat_safety/more_info/?hazmat=7 
and then click on the link to see the actual 
regulation: 
<http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/retrieveECFR?gp=1&SID=bba5ad06518b529c94e1d67a3270196b&ty=HTML&h=L&r=SECTION&n=49y2.1.1.3.12.1.25.5>49 
CFR 175.10(a)(18), specifically

§175.10(a)(18) for the most current rule.

Check also the individual airline policy.  For 
example, Delta seems to mirror FAA 
Guidance:

Also use the search utility on the TSA website 
for additional information on checked or carry-on items:  https://www.tsa.gov/

Hope this helps.
