The FAA regulations have recently been relaxed with regards
to pepper spray. You're permitted to carry one canister in
checked baggage, but it has to be four ounces or less. Double-
bag your spray and toss it in your toiletry kit. If you're
caught, the worst that can happen is you get a body cavity
search by enthusiastic, minimum wage security guards.
