Traveling with Stylus - Airport Security
Hi guys,
I’m planning on traveling with my Patek in the near future and I’d like to bring the stylus along with me. This might be a silly question, but would TSA airport security confiscate the stylus for being a sharp object? Maybe I’m being paranoid, but I’d hate for it to be confiscated as part of my carry on baggage. Anyone with firsthand experience traveling with their stylus? Thanks!

Isn't it no more a weapon than a Cross pen would be?

If anyone can use the Patek stylus as a bona fide weapon, that's pretty damn impressive. I wouldn't worry about it.

Huh?
Are you referring to the poking device that is included with some PP watches? Actually a toothpick serve the same purpose and is better, minimize potential scratches to the case.

Toothpicks have been known to injure thousands more people every year than plane crashes or shark attacks. The danger a single toothpick can represent was highlighted in a recent case study published by the New England Journal of Medicine about a man who nearly died from swallowing a toothpick. It was hidden in a sandwich, and he had no idea he’d swallowed it — and neither did his doctors. As he continued to get sicker, scan after scan showed nothing; these small wooden objects don’t show up on medical imaging. **from article was written by Dr. Azka Afzal, MD, a resident physician at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and a member of the ABC News Medical Unit. |

I use toothpicks as well. People here seem to be paranoid wood will get into the movement but I really dont see it happening. I have done it hundreds of times.

Leave the stylus in the box and as others have said the toothpick is a better option

Toothpick worked fine for many years.
