I 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.
