Spikes through airport security

I've never had an issue and I've flown with a few different pairs/lengths of spikes through different airports. It shouldn't be a problem, as I imagine any college team that flies to get to meets does this all the time. My only suggestion would be to put the individual spikes themselves into the receptacles in the shoe, as it makes it clear what they are for. Having loose spikes in your bag, especially long ones might look suspicious.

Not at all. I've had spikes, a leatherman tool, scissors, and spike wrenches in my bag and they just looked at them to make sure the blade on the leatherman wasn't too big and sent me on my way. Roughly 300 spikes in bags.... oh and dozens of safety pins...

This is one thing that irks me about TSA: inconsistency. I have had friends who have had their Leathermen taken away by TSA.

Decided to check on this...

If you really want to have a bad day, have an athlete with a shot in their backpack going through TSA.

I often have problems with this. But I still had no problems because of the length of the spike..

I have never had any problems with the length of the spike .. Maybe I was just lucky, or maybe it does not cause problems. But do not forget that there are still a lot of problems at the airport. For example, how long do you wait for a taxi? I have it about one hour. I searched for a solution to this problem for a long time, until my friends advised me to visit https://www.timesafetravel.com/ . This service has proven to be very helpful. You can always know in advance the price that you will pay for the road. Also, the car does not need to wait a lot of time, because when you arrive at the airport, the car is already waiting for you at the entrance. Hope one of you uses this service too and will be satisfied :)

Advertising has apparently gotten very niche and targeted these days

I remove them, put them in the tray with my phone and keys, walk through the metal detector and put them back on. Never had a problem.

This is about BLM. I remember a song by the Jets and I’ve seen Spike Lee fly. You shouldn’t have any problem.

Why didn’t anyone tell me about this some months ago?!
