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.Via TPM.
