Don't underestimate the power of the cube. Rofl
 
I've never had any problem but maybe that's because I only have two 3x3 I fly with and one 4x4. I did get the passenger sitting next to me to stare intently at me solving the 4x4 (lol)

I always cube on planes, and it is really fun to watch the reactions you get. On my way to nationals, someone asked me what was in my case (I have a large metal case to keep my cubes in), and I replied, "Cubes. Oh, sorry. Rubik's cubes." That may be my best reaction yet.
 
I travel about 4 times on a plane this year, from chicago to Mumbai. I have never had a problem with cubes... because I have never taken cubes on a plane. Next time I go I'll bring them.
 
June 2007 , I was in Kuala Lumpur Airport ( Malaysia ) from Jakarta to go back to The Netherlands. As a beginner I always take my cube with me and my Timer in my bag. Because of delay many passengers where in the waiting room, this time in 1 waiting room;it was for 2 Destinations ( London and Amsterdam ) so I was lazy to stand in row so I was sited far from them and played with my cube again and again, till the row was gone. So I go to Security Line and put my bag on the X ray and my bag it when in and out and in and out and finally one of security personal asked me what I have in my bag, so I opened my bag and I have to take my Timer out of my bag , and he said What is that ? and I said this is a Timer and with his walkytalky he called another security persons to back up him and another and They are coming just with 6 PERSONS to me, to check my Timer , and I told them that this cube named Rubik's cube and I tried to scramble but before I touched my cube they Scan my cube again and again, and I explain to him that I need that Timer to know how long I can solve this cube and I scrambled and started to solve ( with shaking my hands because of ALL people in waiting room more than 600 passengers and security team they are watching me) and finally they give me applause with my 48 seconds solve ;)

I was coming back from Spain last year with DIY Type C in my bag as well as ES 2x2, 4x4 and 5x5, the x-ray machine took a photo of my hand luggage with the cubes in it and all that came up on the picture was floating screws, so i had to get my bag checked in the middle of an airport only to have cubes in it lol. Quite embarrassing

A flight hostess once revealed to me that her son was a cuber. She was Danish. To this day, I still don't know who her son is.

(Danish cubers, show yourselves!)
 
I went to California to visit my cousins last year with a 3x3, sq-1, 4x4, and a 5x5. They didn't bother checking on them...

But I'm going again next summer with a megaminx... which I would think looks funny in a scanner.

We'll see what they do :D
 
Recently I came from Dominican Republic, and while they were checking my bag one of the security guards saw the cube. He asked me how long it would take me to do it. I said around 30 seconds and he was like it would take him 30 days to do just 1 side. He scrambled it and asked me to solve it and i did it in 28 seconds. They just stayed with their mouth and eyes wide open and i took my cube and walked onto the plane proud of myself!
