But the list of acceptable and unacceptable items is interesting.
The Transportation Security Administration keeps a list on its website of items allowed in your carry-on and checked luggage, including details where specific instructions are necessary.

Antlers
Fresh eggs
Handcuffs
Live fish and live lobster (airline-by-airline decision)
