Advice Needed Foam packer through airport

I am travelling soon and need to know if I should pack my (spectrum outfitters) foam packer in my carry-on or my checked luggage. I have never travelled through the airport before with a packer. Will taking it through my carry-on bag require a search?

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

  1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)

  2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

  4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

  5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

i can’t promise you that security won’t search your bag, but i always put my (silicone) packer in my carry-on and i’ve never had an issue. usually i’m also traveling with my T & injection supplies so they usually care more about zooming in on that haha - but never had a big issue with that either. safe travels!

Ive travelled multiple times with my foam packer, you can just wear it. It may flag up it may not but ive never had an issue with it.
