According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), pens are perfectly fine to bring in your carry-on bag or checked luggage. You don't need to declare them or worry about them being confiscated, unlike some other items, like liquids or sharp objects. Just toss that pen in your bag and you're good to go!
Now, you might be thinking, but what about security checks? Won't the TSA give me a hard time about my trusty pen? The answer is, probably not. Unless your pen is massive or looks like a weapon, it's unlikely to raise any eyebrows. Just be prepared to take it out of your bag and put it in a bin like any other electronic device.
It's also worth noting that some pens might be considered -items of concern, like those with ink cartridges that could potentially be used as a weapon. But, let's be real, who tries to make a weapon out of a pen? It's just not worth the hassle, and the TSA is more concerned with keeping us safe than confiscating your favorite writing utensil.
