Most of those airports are still ok with tripods. Pairs is iffy, it really depends on the staff you are dealing with at that time. If your tripod has a bag it might be better. But vietnam, taiwan and Xinjiang are very very strict with regards to this. As for airports in the USA, as long as your tripods do not have spiked feet, you are ok. Those with spiked feet run the risk of a forced check in.
i would like to confirm above info. Was flying in/out of Taiwan, i had a Velbon Ultra maxi L, folded height 32cm. it was disallowed as maximum length i can bring is 30cm. They refused to budge on this extra 2cm (after i removed the head it was still 32cm), and this was flying on business class, where they're normally more obliging to customer requests. i guess they take this alittle too seriously, as the Maxi L is a really small and cute tripod compared to other tripods.
It is airport security screening issues.
Even the umbrella is not allowed on plane as hand carry luggage so tripods may not pass thru security check.
I got rejected @ the check in desk lei.. Where I was putting my check in luggage

Right, because when someone in an aircraft cabin starts holding up a tripod in his hand and shout "... This Is A Hijack...!". Crews and passengers alike will immediately start fearing for their lives and safety with the situation descending into ultimate chaos once they turned around and looked at the joker.For the safety of the airline passengers, It is good to be strict and banned items that have long metal pipes

Long hard objects such as base ball bats, golf clubs or Tripod etc which can be use as weapons are prohibited in the aircraft for the safety of all passengers and crew onboard. Why not put it in your checking bag? It's strong enough to with stand any rough handling inside a hard case, if it's not then you probably won't want to put your expensive camera on it.
