Anyone who travels a lot knows that you can’t bring anything you want in your carry-on luggage. There might be some forbidden items you aren't aware of too.

"Huffington Post" perused the “What Can I Bring?” page of the TSA website, and found some very interesting items that are a no-no, so you may want to take note before packing your next carry-on bag.

Little known forbidden carry-on items include:

  • Magic 8-Balls – Likely due to the liquid inside.
  • Foam toy swords – They’re okay for your checked back though.
  • Fertilizer – A no-no for carry-ons and checked bags, due to risk of explosion.
  • Bowling pins – They fall into the category of “sports equipment that can be used as a bludgeon.”
  • Cast-iron cookware – It’s heavy and can be used as a dangerous weapon.
  • English Christmas crackers – As in firecrackers, not food, probably because of the “tiny amount of gunpowder lining the inside,” that causes the bang when they’re pulled apart.
  • Gel heating pads – This has to do with the liquid rule, although electric heating pads are okay.
  • Cooking spray – It’s considered an aerosol, which isn't allowed in the cabin or checked luggage either.
  • Larger snow globes – It’s a liquid thing again. If they appear to have less than 3.4 ounces of liquid they’re okay.
