Bunch of monkeys.

I bet you a passenger would make it past security with this flashlight, though.

I think it's because the secondary function of the flashlight is a weapon.....look at the bezel on that thing...you can definitely cause some damage.....

now if the TSA were to tell me that I can't take my 4 D cell maglite, but a 3 D cell is ok, i'd tell them to shove it in da pooper.....

Surefire's were built for the special operations community... the bezel is DESIGNED to be a weapon. Even the TSA isn't stupid enough to intentionally allow a purpose-built weapon through security.

The plastic G2 version is a lot cheaper (same output and batteries) and is TSA-legal.

 

[Dude]

I have one and have NEVER been told to remove it.

I just wish the TSA would change their focus from grandmas, babies and pilots with water bottles to terrorists.

Try Pelican flashlights

didn't realize it was designed to be a weapon. the aforementioned insults to their intelligence and value as human beings still stands, however.

Awesome flashlight and they've never even noticed it going through the xray machine.

They seldom notice anything other than my shaving kit. Nut monkeys, each and every one of those sum ditches.

Nut Monkeys around the world are rising up in protest to your characterization.
