Need help here, can you put a hair dryer in your carry on

[rzemanfl]

luggage when you fly? My wife wants to know. The stupid TSA website tells whether you can bring a cattle prod or a LaCrosse stick, but is silent on hair dryers. I would like to hear from someone who actually flew with a hair dryer and is not now residing in a cage in Cuba or in an airport terminal like Tom Hanks in that movie.

Just carry on what you'd need for the duration of the trip.

4. Yes

Here's a recent article suggesting you can bring a hair dryer. But I wouldn't.
===============================

TV star Mo'Nique calls it racism; United Airlines calls it a disgruntled passenger. Either way, according to a report in the New York Daily News, Mo'Nique was escorted off her flight from Chicago to New York on Sunday after a verbal confrontation with flight attendants over a hair dryer.

Mo'Nique and her stylist were traveling to New York when the stylist placed the hair dryer in an overhead in first class, where Mo'Nique was sitting, according to the actress. The stylist returned to her seat in coach.

The flight attendants refused to believe that the hair dryer belonged to Mo'Nique.

"Tell your people that the next time they have an attitude, they are being thrown off... Since 9/11, we don't play around," Mo'Nique alleged one flight attendant said.

"Are you equating my hair dryer with 9/11?" Mo'Nique said she retorted in the News article.

Mo'Nique was not arrested or detained and another United agent booked her and her crew on the next flight to New York where the actress taped two episodes of The View as a guest host.

The actress told her story on WBLS' The Steve Harvey Morning Show, as well as to the New York Daily News.

5. You can take a hair dryer.

But hair GEL is another story.
You can also take laptops, cameras, ipods, just about any electronics you might normally carry on. Just don't get caught with toothpaste or you could end up on the slammer.
I have not taken one on, but I've flown a number of times since the new rules and have not seen any restrictions posted about hair dryers.
