What about the drill bits? They wouldn't let me bring a RJ45 crimper
on the plane because it had tiny razor blades on it. Seems like a drill
bit is a lot more weaponizable than a 1/2" long razor.

I've flown numerous times in the last year with my cordless drill. I
put the drill itself in my checked bag and carry the battery for it in
my carry on. I usually put it in a plastic zip lock bag inside my
checked bag. Most of the time, flying out of our smaller airport,
they will check out my bag by hand, but I've never had anyone even
look twice at it when flying home out of larger airports. Never had
any issues with anyone questioning it at all, just our local airport
is small and they seem bored and looking for things to do. I've
never taken a charger with me, never had that much to do that I'd need
to charge my drill while I've been out.

I'm going with a group of High School kids from Church to the Bahamas
this summer to do hurricane relief construction. Has anyone flown
with
Drill batteries recently? It looks like the FAA Allows Lithium
batteries that are <=100 Watt Hour in your carry on bag, they are not
allowed in checked baggage. A Dewalt 20v, 5ah battery is 100WH. Has
anyone flown with batteries, do you have to do anything special in
screening or anything?
From this document
https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash/ash_programs/hazmat/passenger_info/media/Airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf
It says that chargers are considered volatile, and must be treated as
batteries, I'm not sure why that would be. According to the
infographic
it seems that the battery can be in the checked bag if it's
attached to
a tool? That doesn't seem to make any sense.
