FYI, baggage handlers in Hawaii are notorious thieves. If something is missing, it probably wasn't TSA. I left there before 9/11, but the problem was pretty rampant.

One of the last times I flew Southwest, I called them in advance to ask about my stove and fuel bottle. The website said no, but over the phone they said yes. I had a big check in bag with snowshoes, poles, stove, bottle, etc. and it got a cursory look with no problem. I flew from LAX to SMF (Sacramento) and back with no problem.

Way back when I flew to New Zealand a couple of times (pre 9/11). All the Kiwis seemed concerned about was not bringing any dirt into the country that might have some strange bugs in it. Ah yes, the good old days.
