Are u allowed to take cans (of drink) to a NRL match?

What is allowed in a checked bag? Questions?

• I have two checked bags, will they charge me for more than one? I know about the whole 50 pounds thing...the point is, I looked at the regulations list, and couldn't find some of the things I have on it. a)hairspray- it's in a can. I'm going to Texas, need it to battle the humidity! b)toys- I know you know what I'm talking about. ;) They are all in their packaging because they are new. I just don't want them to think it's a bomb, and then be embarrassed. c)rechargeable batteries d)cell phone chargers and ipod charger e)bra inserts- they are water and oil filled f)food and drink- I have snickerdoodles for my husband, and energy drinks in cans, canned almonds, Fiber One bars, and Mike and Ike's g)small bottles of tylenol I'm going to be really mad if they take anything out, so I would rather not bring it at all if they won't allow it. Also- with my carry-on, I have my husband's new laptop in it. Will it get damaged going through the x-ray?

• Answer:

  a)hairspray- it's in a can. NO - aerosols are prohibited in checked baggage. The propellants are flammable and if they leak, you have a flammable gas floating around the cargo hold. Small cans - like travel/sample size are OK in a carry-on, but you would probably be better off buying this when you arrive. b)toys The TSA is not out to embarrass anyone, and I am certain they have seen all the toys you have and more. I would not worry, especially as they are in your checked bag. c), d) and e) no problem in the checked bag. The only thing I would make sure of is that one end of each of the batteries is taped over so they cannot contact each other. f) food is OK. I would skip the canned drinks, however. The cargo hold is generally not pressurized, and there is a possibility that a can could pop open --- and that would be very messy. They probably won't, but the results if they do are rather awful for you. g) Tylenol. Perfectly OK in checked bag. You might want to have it in your carry on, though - in case of delays and other problems..... :-) The laptop will be fine - think of how many people travel with laptops every day - if the x-ray damaged data the press would would have a field day with the story. Good luck!
