Can TSA accept gifts?

How useless is TSA?

It requires no imagination, however, to discover what TSA screeners are not catching.

Firearms must be unloaded, packed in a hard-sided locked case, and packed separately from ammunition. Then the locked case should be taken to the airline check-in counter to be declared. TSA has details on how to properly travel with a firearm posted on its website.

Can I bring a candle on a plane?

Candles, yes. You are allowed to bring most kinds of candles on a plane if you’re flying from anywhere in the United States. Solid wax candles can be brought along with practically no restrictions, according to the TSA website – as long as you don’t light them on board, of course.
