Check this

I was just reviewing items acceptable for carry on luggage for flights. Did you know that you CAN INDEED check the following items:
meat cleavers, cattle prods, starter pistols, spear guns, ice picks, swords & sabers

They can't be carried onto the plane, but you can check your cattle prod so that it will be waiting for you in your destination city!

Good to know.

David Byrne was excellent. More on that later, but must pack for my journey.
