I have been traveling a lot inter-island for work recently and possibly to the mainland again soon... Bad guys are everywhere... personal & family safety should be everyones priority! Crime dosen't stop just cuz we're on vacation or off island...   

Some Self Defense Items that I have carried on my person or in my carry on with no troubles from TSA...

1) Tactical Flashlight
2) Kubotan
3) Personal Alarm
4) "Heart Attack" Key Chain
5) Cane

Obviously Pepper Sprays, and Firearms are not legally allowed on aircraft as a personal carry.

I/we are still looking for good, reasonalbly priced canes and walking sticks for personal use and sale.

Stay tuned! Thanks Guys and Gals!

I travel alot inter island and feel bare without my knife.  I don't carry any of the items you listed but I do carry one in particular.  It is made of hard plastic, resembles a "tool" and there is lots of ways to use it if you had some training.  TSA didn't give me no trouble yet (knock on wood) and I hope they dont.  It's called a kerambit travel wrench.  It's cheap won't make noise when going through metal detector and can do damage to your adversary.

I do pack a knife in my checked luggage and will put it on once I leave the airport.

The kerambit is a great tool!

that's the one!  I did break one already but I ordered several.

I got mine from a martial arts tournament two years ago. I didn't see them at this years tournament. Aloha.

Totally got yah!!! I always carry a belt cased multi-tool and knife combo, plus a pocket knife at home anyway...

So feel naked without it off island... Gah...

The kerambit is a great tool!

Rajah dat... the kubotan is a similar device...

Like the kermabit also... will look into.

sucks you gotta pay to check a bag now. went hiking to kalalau and it made more sense to buy a sheddy survival knife from walmart then it was to check bags both ways and they don't even allow the butane canisters on the way back. as far as camping goes it's almost better to buy the gear and return it at walmart or costco to avoid the baggage fees, but I want to try the ass-whup umbrella for non-nature trips.

There is YouTube videos on what you can do with it as well.

my bad Unbreakable Umbrella. problem is if you are staying in hilo a knife is way more useful than an umbrella. Hawaiian makes you pay for every checked bag, and I'm already heavily invested in their miles program. A lot of times all i need fits into one bag and it's stupid to pay the extra 30 bucks to bring a knife. Better to buy a cheapo on arrival and carry a prepaid shipping label/envelope to mail it home on return.

I thought Hawaiian air the first bag was free? 

Carry on is free. Checked is 17 to neighbor islands and 25 everywhere else. Also they like to nickel and dime you for food and movies. Wish getting a knife to your destination without paying extra fees was as easy as packing extra snacks and books.

It's so ridiculous how airlines nickel and dime everything.  I heard Allegiant air is worst.  I fly on a corporate account with Hawaiian and I'm allowed two free check on luggage.   Makes me forget that they charge you for everything.

Oh yeah saw and looking into... Need a good vendor for them. thanks!
