tsaI often carry with me through airport security more than 3 ounces of toothpaste, in the hopes that I can helpfully explain to a TSA agent that toothpaste is not a gel, aerosol, or liquid, but is-by definition-a paste. Sadly, they have yet to try to take my toothpaste.

Luckily for me and all travelers, the TSA knows how complicated deciding what fits into the ever-nebulous "gel, aerosol, and liquid" category, especially with holiday specific items, so they've published this helpful list of holiday foodstuffs not to bring on the plane:

  • Cranberry sauce

  • Creamy dips and spreads
    (cheeses, peanut butter, etc.)

  • Gift baskets with food items
    (salsa, jams and salad dressings)

  • Gravy

  • Jams

  • Jellies



  • Maple syrup

  • Oils and vinegars

  • Salad dressing

  • Salsa

  • Sauces

  • Soups

  • Wine, liquor, and beer


Also, no snow globes. Remember, knowing is half the battle.
