I plan to travel to Vegas with my 3 piece cue I purchased from Syberts in my carry-on luggage. will I have a problem with getting it through airport security?
Tree Piece Cue in Carry-on Luggage
- Thread starter Brookeland Bill
- Start date
From TSA website
Pool Cues
Carry On Bags: NoChecked Bags: Yes
For more prohibited items, please go to the 'What Can I Bring?' page.
The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.
I suspect TSA would miss five guns, six knives, and a hand grenade before they'd let a pool cue slip past.

To us its just another pool cue.
To others? They don't see pool cues often so something such as a two/three piece stick is foreign to them. It will raise concern.
I have people aske me what is in the case? I have even showed people and they don't know.
Some people have never shot pool and if they did its a stick off the wall. An elaborate cue with stainless steel joints does make them wonder.

It is almost absurd, the amount of labor and resources man has put into making a silly tool for a silly game.
(We're all fans here though!)

I’m thinking to check my carryon or use a house cue..
I’ve been looking for a travel 3 piece cue.
I do not see one for sale at Seyberts.
Tell me more about this cue.

Several of us here have them -- you have to have one made.

This cue is discontinued but might have just worked. Came with a case $155.

Of the tens of thousands of bags they scan every year, they most likely have seen it before.
Even if they haven't, anything longer than 7" they are required to take a secondary look.
Unless you have TSA Pre or Global Entry where you can return to baggage check and skip the line when you come back through security, which still may cost considerable time depending on the airport, don't chance it.
IMO, YMMV
