The TSA's primary focus is on safety and security, not enforcing personal habits or legal age restrictions on products like vapes. If found during screening, TSA agents are likely more concerned with whether it adheres to travel guidelines rather than the age of the passenger. They do not have a policy of notifying parents about a minor's possession of a vape. However, it's important to remember that possessing a vape if you're under a certain age can be illegal in some jurisdictions.
