This is not a commun question but someone on twitter asked if she can bring her corset on a plane and TSA answered Yes. So I wanted to share with you more details about this topic.
NOTICE: This article is intended for people traveling from or within the United States of America.
In fact, the information I’m presenting here is based on guidelines from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). It’s the agency that has authority over the security of the traveling public in the United States, and its rules apply whether you’re flying from or within the U.S.
What TSA says about traveling with a Corset on a plane?
First of all, there is no page dedicated to corsets on TSA website. In this case, we perform additional searches in social media support pages and found that it is allowed.
This is our findings about bringing corset on a plane:
- Corsets are allowed in carry-on bags even with metal boning and brassieres with underwires.
- Wearing a Corset through the screening process is allowed but additional inspections could happen
This is the interesting discussions we found on X.com :

Good questions, Kelli! Wood and glass picture frames, corsets with metal boning, and brassieres with underwires are allowed in your carry-on bags.

1: You’re allowed to wear a corset through the security screening process. If your corset alarms on the screening technology, our officer will conduct a visual inspection and a pat-down.

If you decide to wear your steel boned corset thru the checkpoint you may be required to go thru additional screening.

Traveling with corsets is allowed by TSA in both carry-on and checked baggage.
