US domestic air travel with thermal spotter and clip on

[JGRJR]

Any tips for air travel with thermal optics? I would be bringing a small spotter and small clip on. I was planning to carry on but a bit nervous. Any body with experience?

TSA allows a rifle scope. How about a clip on or range finding binos?

I had read somewhere no lasers?

I have done some internet review and not gotten much info.

You'll be fine. No active lasers, those need to be checked in

I carry on 100% of my optics, I care about them more than my firearms . I fly 90+ times a year, never an issue.

Does no active lasers include range finders? I would assume it would?

If it doesn’t have a visible laser I doubt any TSA moron would know differently

Flown domestically w/ thermal clip-ons and NVDs many times, no real issues. When the x-ray scanner found the extremely radio-opaque counterweight, it did trigger a bag search.

No, I bring my LRF just fine.

No HP visible lasers. But honestly, I brought my Raptar HP a few times and they don't know
