Lithium rechargeable batteries are not permitted in checked luggage. Keep them in carry on luggage if you have to have them. Personally, I bring lights that are AA and AAA form factor only while traveling by plane.
Nope, don't have one. LEOSA was just a dream when I left LE. Never pursued it…I'm just a regular Joe@jz6342 Do you also show TSA your LEOSA photo ID ?
At least for this trip your takingI might need to consolidate the collection.
I've always taken as many lights as I wanted to and never had any concern showed except for a few times when I had small boxes and bags filled with many various lights. Even then though, they never asked about them or tried to give me any grief over them.I will be traveling overseas on vacation in a few days and need your input. Will I have any problems traveling with a flashlight on the plane or going through security?

I do, but at this point I would have to travel to Columbia for initial qualification and then every six months...yeah, no.Do you meet the qualifications for LEOSA?
If you do, it would certainly be well worth getting it.
Would depend on what part of the world you're traveling to, and thus where you'd be leaving from. Some Airport Security personnel, even those not from 3rd World nations, are poorly paid. They have no problem "confiscating" anything of value. Either to re-sell or keep to use on the job. That includes flashlights.I would not bring anything on the plane that is not absolutely necessary to board a plane, just passport , phone, and wallet, I hear people worry about stuff getting stolen, but i haven't had anything stolen, nor anyone i know, those who steal do not go for flashlights, knives, batteries.....etc, they go for valuable stuff, like watches, jeweler, cash (yes some try to bring cash in the luggage), i do not think you need to worry about flashlights,
I would recommend putting the airtag or the tile in your luggage, they lose it more often that steal from it, at least you can track it. Some people found their lost luggage like that.
Very true. Venice is amazing at night, but don't try navigating the alley ways at night without a flashlight.Some countries have little to no street lights, poor roads/paths, or lack of them are common, some paths are outright dangerous at night. falling, tripping hazards, so nothing unusual about bringing lights.
