I'm in college rn and there's a smoke shop across the street, originally bought an herb vaporizer but returned it after deciding doing that in the dorms wasn't the best idea. Dude told me he couldn't give me my money back and instead just gave me store credit, so I got a small mini bong (not glass). I'm 10 hrs away from home so I can only fly there, and since I won't be using it at college for safety reasons I'm going to take it home. Is it cool to bring this on a plane? Unused of course. Also as a carry-on since I don't have enough shit to pay for checked baggage.
Give it away. Do NOT carry it on a plane. TSA is a federal agency Airplanes are under federal law Quote:: According to the Federal Drug Paraphernalia Statute, 21 USC 863, which is part of the Controlled Substances Act, in the U.S. it is illegal to sell, transport through the mail, transport across state lines, import, or export drug paraphernalia as defined. Possession is usually illegal under State law. End quote: Is the few dollars you paid really worth a possible charge and jail time plus court and lawyer fees ?

I wouldn't, not on carry-on. Maybe in the checked luggage. If they can say its a "weapon" they'll make you throw it away on the spot. I knew someone who was made to throw out a clay pitcher (for drinks) because it "could be used as a weapon"
Yes you can put it in a carry on. It isn't illegal to ship water pipes across the country. If it was then headshops wouldn't be able to acquire products other than locally produced gear.
If it too much hassle bringing it as a carry on why not mail it home. A friend of mine bring bongs vapes e nails dabbing tools carry on with him when going to Amsterdam an he has never had an issue but this is in the U.K. I'm not sure about USA
I use to work at an airport. Carry on is risky, as that’s where agents get picky and they could take it. Would you get arrested? No. It’d be thrown away, or shit they may even offer to mail it like they do with other things that can’t fly on a plane. If you have a checked bag, put it in that. Bongs and pipes in checked bags aren’t an issue whatsoever. They are not flagged or anything like that. I fly with bongs/pipes in checked luggage regularly in the US and never had a single issue, just make sure to give them a clean. Obviously, don’t take anything through customs, checked or not.
