"Packing luggage to comply with TSA rules can feel like unraveling a tangle of regulations, from banned liquids and confusing rules around food items (is peanut butter a solid or a liquid?), to special policies for battery-powered devices. But there are also plenty of unexpected items that travelers are, in fact, permitted to bring through airport security-from certain kitchen appliances and camping equipment to live crustaceans and large trays of food."
"Here's a good tip: If you want to bring a large liquid through security, like a water bottle, you can freeze it. Frozen liquids are allowed through the checkpoint. However, it must be completely frozen solid to meet TSA's requirements. "If frozen liquid items are partially melted, slushy, or have any liquid at the bottom of the container, they must meet 3-1-1 liquids requirements," the agency's rules say."
Packing for air travel requires attention to TSA restrictions on liquids, foods, and battery-powered devices. Several unexpected items are allowed through security with special screening protocols and packing tips, including full-sized frozen liquids, fresh uncooked eggs, certain kitchen appliances, camping equipment, live crustaceans, and large trays of food. Frozen liquids must be completely solid or meet 3-1-1 requirements if partially thawed. Travelers can use the Can I Bring search on TSA's website, the myTSA app, @askTSA on social media, or text ASK-TSA for guidance. Final determination of allowed items is made by individual TSA officers.
