No, a marijuana vape is not a safe item to bring on a plane under U.S. federal travel rules, even when a state allows cannabis. A marijuana vape creates two separate issues at the airport.

No, a kubaton is not allowed in carry-on bags under TSA rules, though it may go in checked luggage if packed securely. If a kubaton lives on your daily ring or in a backpack pocket, pull it out before you head to the airport. TSA treats it as a self-defense item, not as an ordinary

Yes, an empty hot water bottle is usually allowed in carry-on or checked bags, but a filled one can run into TSA liquid limits. A hot water bottle sounds harmless, and most of the time it is. The snag is not the rubber bottle itself. The snag is what is inside it, how much is

Yes, a live lobster can fly when the airline allows it and the container is clear, spill-proof, and passes security screening. You can bring a lobster on a plane, though the answer has a catch.
