Can I take balloons on a flight?
Mother's day in my family always involves a bouquet of balloons. Mom wanted to take the balloons we gave her home on the plane but in this hyper security aware atmosphere we doubted it was possible.
Getting them through security checkpoints would be a hassle at best. As carry on's they'd fit overhead but likely wouldn't play well with other luggage.
We considered checking them but doubts ranged from air pressure changes to the baggage handler getting across the tarmac without accidently causing an air space violation.
The most practical solution is of course to just buy Mom more balloons when she returns home but Mom is sentimental.
Is there any guidance for this or was Mom crazy for even thinking we could do it?

No, you will not be allowed to bring those on board. I saw many sad children being told they would have to be left behind or deflated before boarding. This must not be as silly of a question as you think, as I found a thread on Disboards that talks about it.Can you travel with an helium balloons?
Place the balloons in the back seat of your car. Do not place the balloons in the trunk or in the front seat. The heat from the trunk may cause them to burst. Run the vehicle's air conditioner to keep the air cool.Can you take balloons in suitcase?
