On the FAA website, I came accross something very specific to dive lamps:

(14) Electrically powered
heat producing articles (e.g.,
battery-operated equipment
such as diving lamps and
soldering equipment) as
carry-on baggage only and
with the approval of the
operator of the aircraft. The
heat producing component, or
the energy source, must be
removed to prevent
unintentional functioning
during transport.

This is supposed to be extracted from regulatory text.

How Bizarre. I just remove batteries and stick in checked luggage. I know some divers don't remove batteries, which strikes me as - can't think of a nice way to say it...
 
Imagine a world that used common sense. But, common sense is not all that common.
 
Im going lobstering off Pompano Beach Florida next week (mini-season). Has anyone tried taking a lobster snare in their carry-on luggage on an airplane?
