Flying with Neodymium Magnets

[MunFam]

I was about to purchase neodymium magnets on Amazon when I noticed an alert that said "Magnetic Material Is Regulated For Air Transport" I tried looking on the FAA and TSA sites and I am not sure how strong these little 1/4" x 1/16" magnets are.

First of all, will this size work for my printed and laminated door magnets?

And will the TSA confiscate all my door decorations?

I would assume no since people use these for door decor all the time, but I want to check before I go to all that effort.

FWIW, We are flying domestic San Diego to Miami.

I'd just pack them in my checked bags. Should be no problem.

I'm planning on putting mine in my checked bag.

Whoa, I didn't even think about that. I guess I'm going to be putting them in a check-in bag as well

Tell the truth, the first cruise I did magnets on, I had so many I was worried about this same issue. I just split them all up between checked and carry on bags, and had no problems whatsoever.

I will probably do that too! This little project that has turned in to a serious habit is not cheap! Haha. I would be so sad if they all got confiscated after all the hard work and money I have put in to them. We are sailing on Wonder through the canal, so I want them to last the whole 14 days!
