About 5 years ago, my Blackthorn cane and I went through TSA scrutiny and had no problems. They gave me a loaner, sent Blackie thru the scanner, and met me on the other side. (of course, I had just checked my pistol in). All in all, not an unpleasant experience. Of course, the wife had done a lot of the prep work and knew all the correct steps.
