I'm not sure. Maybe I've mis-interpreted the sticker. I shall take a pic of the sticker in the near future. :)jimlongley wrote:I am a TSA screener and I carry one of several Surefire or Streamlight flashlights through the checkpoint many times per day and no one has ever said anything beyond "WOW! That's bright."
I have never noticed any restriction on Li batteries, such as what are commonly used in Surefire etc, but they are different from Li-ion batteries, such as used in laptops and cell phones.
The list of prohibited items is here: http://www.tsa.gov/interweb/assetlibrar ... 6_2005.pdf
and I don't see any batteries on it except for "spillable" ones.
I have to wonder if the sticker is either for a different country, or if it refers to shipping a large quantity.

Lithium Ion Batteries
So I've purchased a couple of Surefire products over a course of a couple of months and I've noticed that they had a sticker that said Lithium Ion batteries not permitted in commerical passenger flight or something along that line. So does that mean I need to take the batteries out of my surefire in my carry on bag when I fly? Does that mean I have to leave them home and buy a new set of batteries from my destination? Just trying to understand. Thanks.
