No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

They do random targeting, so even if you were carrying nothing, it's still possible
If you don't want to attract attention, be bored.
And let all your face and body show it at all times.
Do all the typical things at the right time. Don't talk to anybody - only the needed minimum. Have neither fear nor fun.
TSA will probably assume you just checked your luggage at the ticket counter. But they won't care either way.
Is it fishy to travel without luggage? I’ve done it tons of times, who knew?
My dad used to say that all you really need when traveling is your passport, tickets and cash and that's true enough IMO.
It's brave though. At a minimum I always take clean t-shirt, undies and socks. It has paid off more than once.
Is this domestic travel or are you going through customs?
Domestic - nope. It’s possible they can look it up - but for all they know - you just checked your bags.
International/customs - don’t say you have a large amount of money on you or any meat/fruit in your socks and you’ll probably be fine.
........well what am I supposed to do with all these foot toasted slim jims???
You joke, but Trevor Noah ate a whole bag of biltong (South African jerky) in front of customs because customs would not let him into the country with it.
Biltong is so damn good. I would be upset I couldn't save any for later but hedonistically joyful in getting to engorge myself on biltong.
chew fast
I did an air commute with, weekends at home and weekdays on-site at an apartment. I flew with my phone, headphones and wallet only as my key got hidden in my beater car-bumper. Never had a second glance at TSA.
Good luck. I hope your brother gets good treatment and everything works out for the better Don.
No, shouldn't really be an issue. People fly without luggage regularly, for many reasons. If they decide to flag and check you, just explain your situation
No. I've done many short haul flights like that without problems, including in the US. (For example Houston to Mobile, only to return the same day). Despite perpetually looking like I'm a confused foreigner (mostly because I am a confused foreigner), I've had no noteworthy issues with the TSA.
Only thing I can think of was that one time they did not understand that, yes, you can in fact have a TWIC and a C1/D visa without working for an airline. Cost me maybe 5 minutes extra.
Sometimes the duration of your stay is a short one, and your baggage (or lack thereof) will reflect that.
What's your complexion?
We rarely check bags.
