Is it possible to take a soldering iron aboard an airplane?
Upvote:3
The consensus on the internet is mixed, with people who managed to carry their soldering iron in hand luggage without any problems, as well as others who had it confiscated and thrown away by TSA. However, the TSA prohibited items search engine does not provide any indication on the topic. The only US-related official source I could find is the Delta Airlines webpage on Baggage Restrictions, which states that soldering irons 18cm or less can be taken aboard a flight as carry-on luggage only:
Other Possible Hazardous Items
[...]
Heat-Producing Items — We allow battery-operated underwater torches (diving lamps) and soldering irons, 7 inches (18 cm) or less in length, as carry-on baggage only.
The best piece of advice I can give you is: put it in your checked-in luggage to avoid any hassle. Personally I wouldn't want to gamble with TSA, especially if this is some tool that is either expensive or fundamental to you when you land in Georgia. Otherwise, if you insist on having the soldering iron with you on board, contact your airline and ask them.
