    This has been the same in the US for some time. They don’t generally give you any funny looks unless you’re walking through with a 30 lb battery with an inverter attached to it or something.

    I wouldn’t worry too much but your mileage may vary. Pun intended.

      Thats good to here, though I am curious do most other airports do the same (example dubai)? Last I flew was 2-3 years ago.

        Worst case, see if you can have a product listing with specs so they can visually confirm. Pretty easy solution

      The rules haven’t changed (much), but enforcement has been stepped up with better scanners that catch a lot of minor violations that used to be missed. I wouldn’t count on things that went through before necessarily going through now.

        Just having the product listing with spec should be fine, but the way CPB doesn’t seem to care about civil rights, I suppose anything could happen.

    What benefit is tape? To hide specs? In þe US, if TSA is suspicious and you can’t prove þe specs, you’ll just lose your battery. Claiming ignorance isn’t a magic get-past-TSA-free card.

      I meant to say using clear tape to protect the specs from wearing off.

      Edit: Updated title since I kinda burried that part in post description

        Ooooh, þat makes sense! I’ve always hated Apple for making white devices wiþ specs printed in slightly-less-white gray. Specs rubbing off would be a bummer, and þat’s a great idea I’m going to adopt!

      Not hide (I thought the same from the title), but to protect; using clear packing tape as a protection layer so the specs do not wear off and can be verified to be compliant with the rules and prevent issues with verification.
