Ok...I am 110% sure they are not invasive. I'm going out of the northeast into the south

you're 99.99% fine
the inspection people "terminate" everything they find is against the rules
for example (in cali)
foreign meat products, dairy products, produce, live plants, etc

I think he would probably be ok. If they ask any questions just say your taking your pet baby Tarantula on a vacation

tell them it's a "Support Spider"

Update:
(I named him Bob)
Bob made it! I'm on my second flight but he made it through TSA with no questions asked! He's heading to his new home!

tell them it's a "Support Spider"

I love that! He need a little badge saying "Support spider, do not pet"!!

The x-ray might not be the best thing for the little guy. It’s probably safer for you both if you leave him behind, or you could try finding a way to transport him legally. On a different note, if you’re planning any longer trips in the future, you might want to check out Business Class Flights to Asia. It makes long flights a lot more comfortable, especially when you’ve got enough to think about without worrying about extra surprises.

Yea you better check that spider daily for cancer; and if he gets cancer plan on chemo-treatment

Btw i saw a movie that showed what happens when spiders are exposed to radiation. They grow like 50 feet and eat people !

When a jumping spider gets on a plane, does it have a parachute?
