I was a bit worried at the airport on the way home. I figured that the sharp point might make them contraband, and I wasn't sure whether the rubber back would be enough. We checked all of ours, but bought one last minute (the new Year of a Million Dreams one-it had just arrived and they had just brought it into the store-we were the first to buy it at the Beach Club). We didn't have time to put it in with cheched, and it was still in complete packaging. I put it inbetween my huge wad of brochures, and got through okay.
Some Disney items that I know cause problems:
1. Wine Corks-We got ours at World Traveler, but I am sure that they are in all the kitchen stores. They gave us a very hard time, but we eventually got it on the plane.
2. Those lightup swords that they sold for years, which are now sadly sold dirt cheap at the Character Warehouse, cause issues. We bought them about 7 years ago, after years of buying them without an issue. The bag was going through the X-ray, and it didn't pass the test, so they did a hand search. Of course they were at the very bottom, beneath stuffed animals and clothes. Eventually, they just let us go through, laughing that it was only a light up Disney sword.
