The TSA says that planning ahead and not packing certain items at all are going to be your best bet.

Planning ahead and packing properly can facilitate the screening process and ease your travel experience at the airport. Know what you can pack in your carry-on and checked baggage before arriving at the airport by reviewing the lists below. Even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses other security concerns.

So before you head off to Detroit Metro Airport, or any Michigan airport for that matter, we did the work for you. Grab your packing list and make sure that none of these items are going to be in your checked bag because TSA is going to say that it's not going to fly.
