Allow PLENTY of time for the screening process and be patient. The battery of your canister light might pose a problem as a carry on. = The regulations at my Airline (American) do not allow any batteries = (that we know about) on the airplane unless they are clearly marked by = the manufacturer as spillproof. The only reason we allow batteries = anywhere in the plane (including as cargo) is because of their use in = wheelchairs. A spill would be catastrophic and so many people have = intentionally mismarked hazardous materials to save on shipping that = have later caused a problem that we make the liability on the shipper so = immense that they usually let FedEx handle the nasty stuff. Have a good vacation.
