There are a few old horror stories about taking your parachute on a commercial flight. Anyone have good/bad experience with TSA in the last year or so?


I flew to Colorado from Arizona and back on Southwest a year or so ago with my parachute in its bag and it didn't get a second glance. I'm not sure that many TSA agents would know what a parachute looks like!
