Solid foods are basically welcome with open arms. Think whole fruits, crackers, nuts, sandwiches, cookies, and even entire pizzas (yes, really). But liquids are the drama queens of airport security—anything over 3.4 ounces (100ml) gets tossed faster than your ex’s hoodie.
So, you can bring a bag of apples but not a jar of applesauce. It’s absurd, I know. The TSA giveth and the TSA taketh away—especially your precious hummus.
Surprising Fact: You Can Bring an Entire Cake
I’m not joking. The TSA explicitly says a whole cake is allowed through security. So if you want to strut through the metal detector with a chocolate layer cake in your carry-on, go for it. Just don’t try to bring the frosting in a separate container—that’s a gel, and gels count as liquids.
Imagine the scene: you, a cake, and a security agent trying not to laugh. It’s the power move of the century.
