I'd advise checking it.  I got stopped by security last fall on my way 
to Peru, because of my tripod and made to go back and check it. 
 Luckily, I was able to check the whole bag it was in.  Otherwise, there 
could have been trouble.  I asked the security people about this as 
tripods are not on the "list" and was told "its a judgement call." 
 Helpful.  Women I know who are needleworkers and like to work on the 
plane have made a little necklace pendant very popular:  Its circular 
and has small blades inside with tiny notches on the cover, so that one 
can cut thread.  The whole thing is maybe 1" (2.5cm) across.  TSA has 
recently decided that someone might pry the pendant  open and use the 
tiny blades as a weapon, so they are no longer allowed.
