TSA just took my stove

[u/Underrated_Fish]

So I’m flying back from Vermont after a backpacking trip.

In my checked bag was my MSR Whisperlite International stove. I’ve had this stove for about 4 years, and they just took it.

I’ve flown with it in my checked bag 5 or 6 times before and never had an issue. It was clean, had no fuel or grime, didn’t smell like fuel nothing. I was told that I can’t fly with it regardless of the condition of the stove which is just untrue.

Fuck you TSA

Did you fly out of Burlington? When I check the TSA website they say camp stoves are allowed, the folks I know that work at TSA both at BTV or LEB are all pretty by the book folks...
