You know the 3-1-1 rule: liquids under 3.4 ounces in a quart bag. But what counts as a liquid?
Peanut butter is a liquid. So is hummus. And yogurt. And jam. Your breakfast is now a threat.
Mascara is a liquid. Chapstick is a solid—unless it’s gel. The TSA agent gets to decide. Good luck.
Even cheesecake has been confiscated. The TSA called it “spreadable.” The passenger called it tragedy.
One fun fact: snow globes are banned, but dry ice is allowed—up to 5.5 pounds. Use that knowledge wisely.
