TSA regs concerning photo equipment carry-on

[Greg Lasley]

Hello All,
I believe there are TSA regulations that allow photographers to have a carry-on bag of camera gear on airlines in addition to the normal one carry on and one personal item. I have been trying to find a pdf file or other similar document to download to carry with me on trips, but all such links which were posted several years ago lead to a page on the TSA web site which is no longer there. Does anyone have the current info on this regulation and perhaps know where I might find a link to download the regulation itself? Many thanks.

Hi Greg,
I believe it's more dependent on the individual airline that you're flying. I've found Int'l airlines to be the strictest for carry-on luggage. Sometimes you can sign up for a special plan with an individual airline that will let you carry- on more. Best of Luck!

It's still there. I found it by entering "photographic" in the search box.

Thanks Dan and Ross. I had put in some searches on the TSA flight, but not the right word I guess. Anyway, thanks much.
