    Yes, it should be fine to take a lapel pin on a plane. To make the security screening process go more smoothly, take your pin off before you go through the security checkpoint at the airport and send it through the X-ray with other personal items, like your wallet and keys. If you have any doubts about what’s allowed, contact your airline before you fly.

    It’s okay to wear a lapel pin as long as it’s subtle and doesn’t send any overt political messages. Avoid wearing too many accessories, since this can be distracting (for example, don’t go into the interview wearing a lapel pin, pocket square, tie tack, ring, and flashy watch all at once).
