I have no experience with this either. I live in New York City and flare guns are considered firearms, and classified as handguns by NYPD. All it takes is an officer with a bad day, and you could end up as a front page story of the New York Post.
Special advisory for New York & New Jersey airports: Despite federal law that protects travelers, authorities at JFK, La Guardia, Newark, and Albany airports have been known to enforce state and local firearm laws against airline travelers who are passing through their jurisdictions. In some cases, even persons traveling in full compliance with federal law have been arrested or threatened with arrest. FOPA's protections have been substanially narrowed by court decisions in certain parts of the country, particularly in the Northeast. Persons traveling through New York and New Jersey airports may want to consider shipping their firearms to their final destinations rather than bringing them through airports in these jurisdictions.

You can take a case but not the cue. Going through luggage is fine if you have a good duffle bag for it.
Great tip. Thanks
