Namaskar Rajesh,There are no problems with security checks at airports when wearing rudrakshas in and out of the country. Rudrakshas are not sharp objects. If your beads are big Nepal ones and if placed inside the luggage bag and scanned, the beads may look like chocolate balls. In this case you may be questioned simply or asked to show the beads. Never mention high mukhi beads above 13 mukhis. In some countries if the mala is of very high mukhis and is strung in expensive gold, its necessary to take it to the customs office at the airport to obtain a kind of 'receipt' or validation that its a personal belonging that is being worn out of the country. Upon return, show the receipt. Everything will be fine.Om Bholenathrudrakshabeadsociet iesclub@gro ups.com, "rajesht_99"
