Does anyone have experience flying with an FRV? I recently flew to Baja with a Carter float and 2x CO2 cartridges... my checked baggage was searched and both cartridges were removed. I'm now considering buying an FRV but I have to travel to spearfish and I'm wondering if the same thing will happen. As far as I understand it, the vest is no good without CO2 cartridges. I can certainly look into buying cartridges at my destination but that may not be an option at some places.
I found this
FAA link which states the maximum travel size for a cartridge is 28g of CO2. The FRV requires a 33g to 84g cartridge depending on depth. Unless I'm missing something the FAA doesn't allow travel with the larger CO2 cartridges an FRV requires.
