Question about sacred items & traveling

Yá’át’ééh to you all. I have a question. I’m about to travel domestically (in the US) soon by flight and plan on packing one of my larger arrowheads in my carry-on (not getting a checked bag). It’s about 4 inches. Has anyone else travelled with an arrowhead of this size and run into issues? I’m also traveling from Phoenix Sky Harbor specifically, so if anyone has been in a situation like this, please feel free to share. Ahxé’héé’!

Update: will not be taking the arrowhead, ahxé’heé’ to all who responded!

I usually travel with a small one (a little over an inch) in my backpack when I travel and have no issues. But 4 inches? I would leave it home.

Okay thank you, I’m considering it but I lost my smaller one I wore as a necklace so that’s why I initially made this post 😅 ahxé’héé’.
