Reminder: Fireworks prohibited from planes

As the Fourth of July holiday approaches, airline passengers are being reminded that it's against the law to pack fireworks in luggage.

The Federal Aviation Administration reports more than a-third of all fireworks found in airline luggage last year involved flights to or from Hawaii.

The Transportation Security Administration is warning its Hawaii employees to be watchful for fireworks.

And airport screeners have been reminded to look for all types of fireworks, from sparklers to firecrackers.
