I've heard that Samuel L Jackson has been on a plane with Sidewinders, Kraits, Cobras, Vipers, Mambas, Pythons & Rattlers...
I fly with my discs once a year back home. One time I had funny looks at the airport another time I got the tsa agent say he plays also. Only had one problem one time. the flight attendant did not like my grip bag under the seat in front of me. so I turned it a little and made sure my leg was keeping it out of sight when she walked back over.
The one thing I do is make sure to was all your disc well before you fly. just incase you have any chemicals picked up from the park
Snakes on a plane
I once had a TSA agent looking a little perplexed at the X-Ray image. One of the other agents looked over and began explaining disc golf to him.
Keep in mind, their job is to keep potential bombs and weapons off planes. A bag full of frisbees really isn't going to raise much alarm.
I think their concern comes from the fact that discs with metal salts as weighting agents can look like sharp metal discs on the x-ray machine if the tech doesn't know what they are already. Once they actually look in the bag it's never an issue.
