I’ve traveled with my cylinder in checked baggage, no problem; but, I don’t bring the pressure gauge. I just figure it’s the size and shape that might set of some alarms. So, I just have a tube connected to the cylinder, and suck it to vacuum-ize the cylinder. I pump at low vacuum anyway, and after a few years of pumping have a pretty good idea of how it should feel. When I get home I re-attach the gauge.
However, it’s probably okay to take the gauge. I’m just being hyper-cautious. People bring small alarm clocks and other similarly shaped items in checked luggage all the time.
I don’t see penis pumps among the prohibited items here: http://www.tsa. gov/travelers/a … ed-items.shtm#2
The closest they get is "Compressed Gas Cylinders," indicating it’s probably not a good idea to pump on the plane.
Huh. No snow globes in carry-on.
Oops. Now I see you’re in India. Never mind the TSA stuff, unless you’re traveling to the States.
