After yesterday's report on updated travel guidance regarding flying with trekking poles, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has quickly made a U-turn on its policy, telling Advnture that the change had been made in error.
Yesterday, the TSA's What Can I Bring webpage showed that travelers could pack hiking poles in their carry-on bag, as long as they had blunt tips. This would allow hikers to fly home for the holidays without checking a bag. Today, however, the guidance once again shows that poles must be packed in checked luggage.
