Can my child take a doll on a plane?

While they may look harmless, stuffed animals are required to undergo security screening, along with other hand-carry luggage (plush toys are not allowed to be taken through metal detectors). If it is too large to go through the X-ray machine, airport security staff may ask that you check in the item instead.
