The agent looked up the rules online. The rules say that stoves with attached fuel tanks are prohibited if the stove has EVER had fuel inside. I burned the fuel until it was out, and had flown with the stove a dozen round trips previously. But that didn't matter. I was also bummed that the replacement stove of the same model didn't work nearly as well as the one that was confiscated. My lesson learned was never voluntarily admit that a stove is in my luggage.

Wow! You saw lots of Orca whales on the ferry to San Juan Island! I biked in some of the San Juans last summer. Very hilly!

That area of Lake Michigan - Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, is on my list to see/do.

Wow, I'm surprised that the United Airlines agent confiscated your Coleman stove, even though there was no fuel in it!
