When I have to fly on a plane, I go through TSA with trepidation. Perhaps I should lighten up as I've found at least 58 things you can totally take on a Missouri plane without being busted and cuffed by an agent.

Here are a few things that are on the no-no list that surprised me. Magic 8-Ball? Don't try it. You are not allowed to predict the future with a black 8-ball in the air. Also note that you can take a bowling ball, but NOT bowling pins. Forget trying to pick up a spare in the aisle with that bowling ball you can legally carry.

You also cannot bring your canoe with you as a carry-on no matter how hard you want to try. You also are barred from packing cooking spray with you to make that airline food easier to deal with. (*frown face*) No cutting boards as a carry-on either. Bummer.

It's a good idea to check the TSA screening website for details as to what's legit and what's not. Just know if you're carrying a Harry Potter want, I will be giving you a very hard time.
