i’m flying out of the country next week. i’m also wanting to bring my instax mini 9 polaroid camera. will this be allowed? will i have to be pulled aside during security checking? also will this be allowed to and from the dominican republic?

Cameras are allowed in carry on baggage. But subjected to TSA screening. It depends on how much battery capacity it has. If it's more than 1400 mah then needs to be detached and screened.

Cameras are allowed, the TSA is having all electronic devices must be carried on so extra screening of items. Have a great trip that country is beautiful and great for adventures or relaxation.
