Can we carry our shears in a carry on bag? Who can we ask to make sure?

Nearly every week or so, I see Barbers asking about what we can and cannot keep in our carry on bags when we fly. As I go through these discussions, I see many different answers, yet I don't see a lot of definitive answers, so we remain confused. In this episode, we talk about:

• What we can and can't carry (you'll be surprised)
• The limits of the shears and liquids that we carry
• Our options when we accidentally take something to the security line that can't go through
• Talking with TSA
