Weighted Vest on Airplane

Hey all. Does anyone have experience taking weighted vests on airplanes with you. I would like to just wear it onto the plane, but don't know if they will allow it. Thanks for any input.

I wouldn't

If you're flying in America and TSA gets ahold of you with that vest you'll be screwed....with a nite stick...literally. Those morons will flip out. Let's just say you'll miss your flight...

Exactly, cool idea but don't try it.

Too feel lighter I guess, I honestly don't know why you would, you feel groggy enough when you get off a plane.

Bold: Think about that one for a sec.

well...

Well, if you do be sure to not have any coiled wires sticking out of it and make sure not to have a button in your hand wired to the vest.

I would take it with me (if I didnt have to pay for the insane fees they charge for extra bags and weight), as long as it's folded with the weights by it's side they would understand and it's easily explained and revised. The most important piece of advice is: DO NOT WEAR IT.
