Avoid additional attention by not carrying prohibited items. If you are in doubt, it is best to leave it out. It is good to retain a good sense of humour, but never joke about terrorist activities, bombs, or anything even remotely related. With the added cultural knowledge of travelling and working on four continents The British American Security Expert suggests that the most important rule is never to argue with an aviation security officer. As a security consultant of “A Security One Stop Shop”, Dr. Mark D. Yates advises travellers to take along a pre self-addressed stamped padded envelope in case you’ve mistakenly packed something that security won’t allow you to take on-board.

Of course if you are a serving law enforcement or armed security officer licensed to carry or transport firearms in certain countries, then all aviation rules pertaining to flying while armed must be strictly maintained.
