You misunderstood. The person I was quoting was saying that the people who check your bags wouldn't notice so I asked why would THAT matter (if they can't tell) because it's still a fire hazard

 

I am on your side and agree 100%. Sorry if I wasn't clear

 

No one should bring a power cord with a surge suppressor, ever

I meant it the other way. I don't want to "sneak on" one that's surge proected, I want to bring on the correct kind. i just didn't know how they would tell the difference. Seems like it would be very tedious for the inspectors to look that closely at every one.

I'm just worried I will search for an allowable non surge protected one and they will confiscate it because they look just like one with surge protection.

Wouldn't it be nearly impossible for them to tell if yours has surge protection or not? Especially if it looks like a normal power strip.
