TSA: What To Know Before You Go

first Yes is for carry-ons, second one is for checked bags

It'll be a good idea to print the pages harb99 linked for you and carry that with you. A lot, (most some would say), TSA agents don't know their own regulations/restrictions and having that information readily available can save you time and trouble.

that is what I did for our trip in case something weird came up when going through security - but I checked my BC with small knife and shears so I wasnt too worried about anything like that

Went to ST. Lucia this spring. Two BC knives and no problems in checked bags.

I've flown in the US, and left my knife on the BC in a checked bag, no issues.
