They don’t want to trust their yoyos to the baggage people and the ruffage of the flight.

Its harder to loose carry on than it is checked luggage. They loose that stuff all the time.

1% of all checked in luggage gets lost. not too much, but then again, how many people fly a day? thousands.
and also, yoyos were not invented as weapons. misconseption. they were invented as toys for the greeks and also they were used to calm the people on death row. doesn’t throwing a responsive yoyo down a couple times make you feel better? i guess the same goes for when you are gonna die.

Yes.
They weren’t invented as weapons, but were invented in like 1000 B.C. in Greece (or Rome maybe) as upper class “toys.”

I know this is an old thread, but i was wondering if you could bring string, _sarcasm alert_being the menacing murder weapon that it is. Also, can you bring pliers or do you have to put them in checked luggage?

That’ll depend on the person checking. I brought pliers fine, but some people might not let them through.
When I went to Switzerland, I got scissors on the plane so I could take down…I mean make paper airplanes, but I couldn’t get them back, so it really just depends. Might as well try and explain you just need them for your yoyos if they ask or if they won’t let you through.

i use a modified pistol case for a yoyo case. I got the idea from Takeshi. He said that he only gets stopped at the airport once in a blue moon for his yoyos and it’s when the TSA officer recognizes a pistol case, asks him to open it, and when he sees yoyos inside he just lets him through.
There is absolutely no reason that a yoyo would not be allowed on a plane. If your yoyo case gets taken at security (assuming there are only legal objects in the case) I’m sure it would make national news if you were to pursue litigation, and bring much publicity to the world of yoyoing.

One time, when I was little I brought my metal model airplanes with me on vacation and the TSA officer stopped me, then looked in the bag and waved me off. Just show it to them and you will be fine.

I’ve done it many times without a problem. If any thing they open the bag and take another look at it.
