Okay so I wanted to know, I searched the Houston data online about restricted items at the airline my husband will be flying out of.  I went through the entire list.  It says it is okay to take a cd player on the plane in a carry on.  What it doesn't tell me is if DVD's or Blue Ray movies are safe to put in a carry on?  I have two box series sets for gifts that need to go on the plane with him.  I don't want TSA to ban them and then he loses 50.00 dollars worth of gifts.  I can't find anyone that can tell me if these boxed sets of CD movies are safe for the carry on.  It is so frustrating.

Also does anyone know if it will damage DVD's to subject them to the metal detectors?  Should we just tell the TSA agent ahead of time that these are in the bag and not let them be scanned but just searched?

I have no idea who to even call..the airport?  The airline?  So lost.
I never travel by plane, but R2 has to go on a trip in a month to see his family.  I would appreciate any help.

Sure they are safe-  I bring DVDs and or Blue Ray movies with me all the time when I visit my sisters in CA, and the xray machine does nothing to them.

They will make you take your larger electronics out of your bag to be scanned, that is the only thing to keep in mind.  That just means you put the DVD player in the little white bin next to your backpack as you push it through the x-ray machine-

Magnetism does not affect DVDs or Cds.  ^.^ You're allowed to watch them once the plane is at a cruising height, as well.

Thanks pony friends. I have been going crazy trying to find this out.  You have saved me a huge days worth of headaches for tomorrow. I know I can't wrap them though.  They said no wrapped gifts can go on the airline.  TSA has to check things.  So I am going to slip them in a unsecured gift bag that they can take them out of easily.  So much to do just to go on a simple trip.
