You're flashlight is fine. Flight Attendants are required by law to have a flashlight in their pocket, or easily accessible, and they can't have anything on a plane that you can't.

Airline Travel - Flashlight Hi Everyone,
I'm getting ready for a business trip and decided to carry on all my luggage since it is only overnight. The downside is that I won't be bringing my handgun and won't be able to check my knives. However, I do own a Fenix LD10 flashlight that I'm hoping is allowed through airport security. I have access to an airport that is easy to get in and out of so I can always check with security before boarding and return it to my car if it isn't allowed.
Has anyone had any experience with this?

I routinely travel with my Surefire E2D without incident.

I recently traveled with a three cell double A LED flashlight in a holster on my hip with no problem..
I think it's funny.. I can't have a nail clipper but I can have big (bigger than I carried) flashlight that I could really beat someone with.. I believe umbrellas are also allowed.. Now that can make a pretty good weapon as well.. Oh, but take away those nail clippers!!!

Flashlight will be AOK. What about carrying a padlock with handkerchief tied to it? That's a good weapon. I saw a special on History Channel or something like that where outlaw biker gangs carry locks with a bandana tied to it and then they carry the big ol' Maglites in a loop off their belts. Innocent enough and packs a wallop.

Some years ago (before NC became a "shall issue" state) I got stopped by a State Trooper for a seabelt violation. He noticed my 4 D cell MagLight on the passenger seat and asked my why I was carrying something like that. I said I carried one for the same reason he did..
