The answer to this will definitely be on your airline's website. I found Southwest's stance on their page. (Click the "Sharp Objects" link.)

If you can carry on MRE's, can you heat and eat on the aircraft?

I'm betting that when that MRE heater starts steaming and hissing that someone is gonna get nervous. That is if you don't get stopped when your pouring the water into it!

I've never had a problem with it in checked bags....never tried in carry-on bags, but I am sure that would be a no-no...

That's a bummer....I think maybe I'll be putting the kilt in a carry on!!

If it's in the hold, it's not a problem. I've flown all over the world with no problems.

If its in the checked baggage you shouldnt hae problems

Knives or any other sharp items are NOT allowed in the carry on luggage though. Watch for kilt pins as well.

I recently flew kilted to and from Fresno

I hadn't thought about it, but you probably have a point (about the kilt pins). However, I had a kilt pin in my laptop bag at O'Hare earlier this summer, and received no grief from the TSA.

My wife, on the other hand, performed her annual "losing of the swiss army knife" trick. She always forgets she has one in her purse, and ends out having to surrender it before she goes through security. Every year for the last three years running. Fortunately, she doesn't buy the expensive ones.
