From the TSA website: "Dive tanks or any compressed gas cylinders are prohibited as checked baggage. A compressed gas cylinder is allowed in carry-on baggage only if the regulator valve is completely disconnected from the cylinder and the cylinder is no longer sealed. . ."
Anyone transported an Al 80 as carry-on baggage lately . . .? I suppose if you wore a 'Jacket-style' BC w/ cylinder attached, you could argue it was just an article of clothing . . . Sorry, had to bring it up again. ;D
