Most travel and transport facilities have added special safeguards meant to combat terrorism:

Staff have received extra security training.

Sophisticated scanning equipment has been installed.

The ultimate objective is your safety and security. Has it worked? Do you really feel safer?

Whether you answered 'yes' or 'no', you must comply with current regulations when you travel or commute.

Different countries and transportation carriers have varying requirements. You won't find a single master list. However, searching wisely on the internet will provide you with the information you need before you plan your next trip.

In the USA, try tsa.gov and search for 'restricted items' or 'prohibited items'.

In Canada, visit tc.gc.ca, performing the same searches.

For other countries and carriers, use your favorite search engine and try some of the following searches.

Germany 'restricted items' air

Mexico 'restricted items' air

Europe 'restricted items' rail

Greyhound 'restricted items'

and so forth. Notice that 'restricted items' should be enclosed in quotation marks to produce the best results. (Because of the way various websites display articles, quotation marks have not been used in this article.)

Your search efforts should produce appropriate websites in the first search results page of any major search engine.

A partial list of items you should avoid in carry-on luggage would include:

Most metal knives

Large metal scissors

Fuel of any kind

Lighters and lighter fluid

Weapons and ammunition

Anything that looks like a weapon

Some items that are not permitted in carry-on luggage are allowed in checked suitcases.

Do your research - make sure you have the required documents - and pack carefully.

Now lose the fear, find your confidence, and enjoy your next trip!
