I certainly do not hold credentials as authoritative as working for
TSA, but I can tell you that even saying that you have a "stove' will
trigger alarms for some inspectors. I found a way around this is to
disassemble your stove and then when you are asked if there is a stove
in your bags, reply with "no, but there are stove parts". This has
worked for me several times without incident.
"fuel bottles" also look very similar to "water bottles". I have never
had a problem when carrying bottles if they are BONE DRY and OPEN.
Worst case scenario: buy new fuel bottles when you land at your
destination, then mail them to yourself at the end of your trip.
peace,
dude
