TSA agents have seen it all—cow skulls, live turtles, bags of sand from a beach wedding. An electric toothbrush is boring to them. But if you’re traveling internationally, some countries get weirdly specific. For example, China’s Civil Aviation Administration requires that electric toothbrushes in checked luggage have the battery fully discharged below 30%? No, actually, that’s a myth I just made up. Don’t listen to me—check the official website of your airline.
The truth is: 99% of the time, no one will care. But if you’re flying on a tiny regional plane with a strict weight limit, your electric toothbrush might count as a “portable electronic device” and need special handling. Yeah, even TSA has irony-blind spots.
