Going through Vancouver a lady TSA agent asked me while I was in line if I had a sgian dubh. I told her I did not. She said "Good, as I would not have wanted to take it away from you". Those obviously would not get approved to go on board. I had no issues anywhere on the trip with the sporran but then I only had the one carry on bag. Because of the full flight they did not have room for all the carry on bags so they had a cart by the aircraft door. They asked if we did not need the bag during the flight would we mind having them stored below. We got them back at the aircraft door upon landing. I understand that practice is getting more common these days.
