So you’re planning to fly with an urn in your luggage and you’re wondering if you’re going to run into any problems with airport security. If we’ve guessed it right so far then continue reading.
While dealing with airport security what you must keep in mind as a general rule of thumb is that whatever you pack in your luggage must be x-ray-able. Yes, everything must be see through under the airport x-ray machine.
An interesting point to keep in mind is that since some urns are not scan-able the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) won’t open an urn to inspect the contents which means they might considerate a flight risk and detain the urn with them for security measures. Now, we sure don’t want to go down that path. So what you can do is either transfer the content of the cremation urn onto a see-through box just for the purpose of making the security screening seamless which you can later transfer back to its original container or you must get urns made of wood, paper, plastic, resin or curated marble as these can be scanned with their x-ray machines.
In order to avoid any hassle under such stressful conditions make sure to check in with the airline to see if they allow passengers to fly with urns in the first place and always make it point to let the security professionals know that you are traveling with human ashes before going into the checking process.
