I never have any problem, with acrylic or plastic...... Besides that, all fucheating ball will be confiscated for security reasons to the community.

What about russian balls?
Can I fly with it?!
Or they could be confiscated too?

It'd be really usefull to have it on airports while waiting for a connection or something...

I'm probably going to end up having a three or four hour layover when I fly to California in December. Hopefully, by that time, I'll be skilled enough to entertain my family, or whoever else feels like watching, with some mediocre contact juggling. XD

Just to add one more experience to make you feel better...again...I hope...I have flown with acrylics, and stage balls the worst thing they did was spray a ball to make sure it wouldn't explode and then asked for a performance and at best they don't say anything. I flew with a few sil-x, they didn't even realize that they had liquid in them, even though they took them out and looked at them.

I have always done air travel with all my acrylics in carry on luggage. Would be to heavy in the suitcase! ~ I've seem to have been able to escape paying for overweight with a stack of acrylics in a hip pouch and the rest in my day backpack.
Xray always stops the conveyor and they preen heavely into the screen. Sometimes they wanted to have a look inside, ofcourse a small demo (better not do a butterfly, but a nice controlled iso or a rotating pyramid) is then in order to have everybody smile in wonder and let me pass.

Airport security though have told me to stop when I was practicing in a quiet corner, waiting for a plane. Though that was more because they thought I was busking.
Multiball practice is just as much fun at 20.000 feet, though I really was wishing he'd dive into a parabolic flight for some zero-g Cj.

I took my Hard Shell Stage Ball with me to the airport, and I was juggling with it all the way up till I had to put it in the tray to be x-ray'd. I was a slight distraction to the TSA's but other than that they didn't spray it down at all. It went straight through x-ray fine, then I picked my ball up and kept juggling.

Was that LAX or John Wayne Rabit? I always feel like the LAX security is kind of angry. It might just be me though.

I usually carry my balls in my hand luggage, and after putting the bag through the x-ray machine I've been asked what the balls for more than once. A brief demonstration has always got me through security with a smile.
