CEWs Not Permitted on Commercial Airplanes

The  IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations for commercial airplanes forbids the carrying of CEWs in both your carryon AND checked luggage on commercial airplanes:  “Electro shock weapons (e.g. Tasers) containing dangerous goods such as explosives, compressed gases, lithium batteries, etc., are forbidden in carry-on baggage or checked baggage or on the person.”  No exception is made for law enforcement officer.  These IATA regulations were adopted by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s PHMSA in 2012.
