Can I take roller skates through airport security?

Unfortunately, it’s going to be hit-or-miss for quite some time.

Most of the organizations that publish screening rules specifically prohibit roller skates, but they also do not specifically allow them. TSA being the notable exception: roller skates

However, they also always note: The final decision rests with TSA on whether to allow any items on the plane.

Because of this, you may, as has already happened, encounter a zealous screener who sees the skate as a tool or the toe stop as a blunt object or equates the prohibition of ice skates to all skates.

Realistically, all you can do is get there early enough to repack and check the skates if you are prevented from taking them into the concourse. In terminals with multiple separated checkpoints, you can always try at another checkpoint if refused at the first.
