I fly with my D10, and LD01, and LD20, and streamlight nano, and zebra head lamp all the time. I also have a camera case with 8 extra AA batteries with me and not one second look.
I fly about 75,000 to 100,000 miles a year.

Should be no problem at all.
They might look at them or ask you to turn them on, my advice is to always turn on a multi level light to a lower level for them.
This is just incase one of them thinks the bright level might be too bright..:shrug:

My experience has been that an aluminum 1xAAA flashlight does not set off the magnetometer, even at airports where they're set to be very sensitive. I'd be very surprised if a 1xAA or 1x123 size did either.
In a carry-on bag, no flashlight has ever caused me problems. As gbelleh says, I'd stay away from scary-looking crenelations. I'd also stay away from anything that looks like it could be a bludgeon.

I cannot see any reason why they could complain about your carrying of a small torch on a plane.
Worst case would be they take a look at the light at security, turn it on and check it is a light and not a small bomb or something, but it has no sharp edges or anything...

I recently brought my Mag85 on the plane with me. No questions asked.
Now, they did run a chemical test on the cheese and sausage I was carrying...
