I'm looking to buy a new ride and I've limited myself up to now to local bikes only. However, I've seen some good bikes online a day or two ride away. So, I'm curious what people's experience flying with a helmet lately. I found some information online with a Google search recommending that people don't take their helmets as checked luggage. TSA's website indicates helmets (are OK as carry-on or checked luggage, but the TSA officer has the final word on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. It is also noted that there are many types of helmets and they don't specify different types of helmets. Has anyone encounter any trouble from TSA and/or the airline taking the helmet as carry-on luggage?
FYI, I tried searching here, but could not find a previous thread/discussion on this.
