[Clean Clouds]

"WASHINGTON – In its continuing effort to improve transportation safety, the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration today issued an interim final rule (IFR) to prohibit passengers and crewmembers from carrying battery-powered portable electronic smoking devices (e.g. e-cigarettes, e-cigs, e-cigars, e-pipes, personal vaporizers, electronic nicotine delivery systems) in checked baggage and prohibit passengers and crewmembers from charging the devices and/or batteries on board the aircraft."

"Passengers may continue to carry e-cigarettes for personal use in carry-on baggage or on their person but may not use them on flights."

So you can not vape on a plane, but you can burp your chicken or lasagna on my face?
Is that just a US regulation or have they enforced this neurosis worldwide?

I'll fly air-ISIS next time!

With most of my stuff, I break it down and mix it in with my makeup bag. You can take the labels off the bottles. Even write eye drops or mouth wash on them. You can also toss all your electronic stuff in the makeup bag like chargers, and cables.

Let's say I have a box mod, no batteries inside, in my checked luggage. Would that really raise any eyebrows? I mean it just like packing an electric toothbrush or a hard drive right?
