They tried to confiscate my stryker and rookie when I forgot to put them in my checked luggage. They actually thought I was going to forfeit them instead of mailing them back to myself. Its such a scam operation. They charged me like $15 per blade to mail them and wouldn't let me mail them in the same package. I'm not really worried about TSA. They are just a bunch of wankers anyway. I'm more worried about the other end of world, off US or at least Western soil. I haven't had any problems so far, but I've never taken a fixed blade overseas.
