Now I know what you're thinking, of course you can't bring things like explosives, loaded firearms, drugs, etc on a plane, however these are not those items.
While some of these items you'll have to check below the plane, some things are banned completely from airlines.
If you've ever flown with sports equipment, you know the ropes, but for those of you who fly light, here are just some of the items, you aren't allowed to bring on planes. So don't even try it.
1
"While these fun toys are allowed to be checked in with your luggage, you can not bring them in as a carry on."
2
"The TSA website says: “sports equipment that can be used as a bludgeon (such as bats and clubs) is prohibited in the cabin of the plane.”"
3
"We aren’t exactly sure why these things can’t be brought onto planes, but it is assumed it has something to do with the liquid."
4
"While these things aren’t REALLY swords, the TSA website states “cutting or thrusting weapons, including fencing foils.” can’t be carried on."
5
"These things contain a tiny bit of gunpowder inside of them."

"These bad boys fall under the “sports equipment that can be used as a bludgeon” category."

"According to the TSA website: “Snow globes that appear to contain less than 3.4 ounces of liquid (approximately tennis ball size) can be packed in your carry-on bag ONLY if the entire snow globe, including the base, is able to fit into your one quart-sized, resealable plastic bag.”"
