Top weird things you are not allowed to carry in airplanes

There are certain rules and regulations laid down by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) when it comes to objects or things we can carry on a plane. We know certain things that are not allowed on a plane like any sharp objects which can be used in ways to harm or liquids above 3-4 ounces. But many weird things are not allowed to carry in airplanes and today’s article is based on that.

  • Heating pads

They might sound cosy while flying on a plane, especially while you’re sitting in economy. We know it can act as a saviour for those having aching shoulders, neck and upper back.
