I certainly do not hold credentials as authoritative as working for 
TSA, but I can tell you that even saying that you have a "stove' will 
trigger alarms for some inspectors.  I found a way around this is to 
disassemble your stove and then when you are asked if there is a stove 
in your bags, reply with "no, but there are stove parts".  This has 
worked for me several times without incident.

"fuel bottles" also look very similar to "water bottles".  I have never 
had a problem when carrying bottles if they are BONE DRY and OPEN.

Worst case scenario: buy new fuel bottles when you land at your 
destination, then mail them to yourself at the end of your trip.

peace,
dude
