It is absolutely safe to pass your night vision device through the baggage security check at airports. First generation devices can be taken in and out of many countries without a license, including the United States. Second and Third generation night vision devices are regulated by the State Department in the U.S. Other countries also restrict their movement around the world. Please consult the proper authorities when you travel with a Gen II or III night vision device.
