Let's Get the TSA to Change Its Policy on Pool Cues

Good luck with this endeavor. When I go to the Derby, I am always struck by the fact that the airport sells small Louisville Slugger bats that are TSA approved for carry on and make a far more effective weapon than a pool cue ever could. But I suspect that some Senator or Congressperson from Kentucky supported getting those on the approved list, which is just not likely to occur for pool.

yeah, those mini bats weigh about 4 ounces, if that. A pool butt weighs in at 15 ounces, is 31 inches long and is solid, hard wood, capable of cracking a noggin wide open. The pool butt is about the same length and weight of a police baton when fully opened. (collapsible metal) They will leave a mark just like a pool butt. ouch ;)

That being said, they are not taking over a flight any time soon, so it's a bit stupid to think you can high jack a plane with a pool butt or hockey stick :)
 
I found a company called Sweetwater.com and they sell some excellent bags for music stands etc and they work really well for carrying pool cue cases. They are big enough to fit clothes for the weekend as well.
 
Isn't this TSA kind of like the IRS?
"Accountable to nobody"..?? and if that is the case, they can do as they please.
Which means nothing is going to change.
