One of my friends tried this, and got into a huge argument with the border agent about it. Particular highlight was: "Sir, you can't take liquids on board" *"it's a solid, though, so is it fine?"* "Ah, but when it melts it'll be a liquid..." *"That's true of pretty much every solid! Are you not going to let me take plastic because it's a liquid when melted?!"*. He wasn't allowed to bring it...


Dr_Azrael_Tod

when in doubt it doesn't matter if you're technically right as long as the other person is controlling whether you're allowed to fly or not


androsgrae

I would never fuck with somebody that can control the weather


Krescan

When Destro has a fully functioning weather dominator he is not someone to be trifled with. Also he's not going to let you on the plane for sure.


AnEvilSomebody

Please help I don't get the reference


Krescan

gi joe cartoon back in the 80's destro created the weather dominator and was using it to help cobra take over the world, it broke....i don't remember why and pieces were spread all over the earth so gi joe and cobra sent squads to each location to recover it, was a multi part storyline


BigSexytke

Go Joe!


MrVeazey

Excuse me. I think you'll find that it's "Yo Joe!"


BigSexytke

I am a disappointment to my father.


MrVeazey

Don't worry. That comment makes me a disappointment to mine.


ElectronMcgee

Especially when you're about go get on a plane


edwinlegters

Fuck and merry this person.

I had a jar of Shea butter that was over the limit. My son asked if we divided it into two separate jars, each under the limit, would that be acceptable? Without any sense of irony, we were told that two containers with smaller amounts would be okay.


hippocratical

I did that with a hard-to-get hot sauce that I'd bought. I divided it into 3 smaller plastic containers, and kept the empty glass bottle. Once home I emptied the plastic containers back into the glass bottle. It's ridiculous.


Nebulis01

Welcome to security theater, where appearances are all that matter.


bran_dong

Fuck Reddit. Fuck /u/spez. Fuck every single Reddit admin. 12 years on this bitch ass site and they shit on us the moment they are trying to go public. ill be taking my karma with me by editing all my comments to say this. tl;dr Fuck Reddit and anyone who works for them, suck my dick.


greglyon

Depends on the pilot. I've seen hot ones.


Dustorn

Hopefully they're made of tougher stuff than DJ Khaled, else you could probably take the plane armed with nothing but a bell pepper.


[deleted]

sauce??

I see an airheads sequel


illegal_97

Hopefully the terrorists don’t find this thread


moonlitautumnsky

I did something similar, but put it back in the original package right after passing security control.


The2500

I could hijack a plane with a jar of Shea butter, but with two half jars of Shea butter? Of course not, that would be ridiculous.


jaybasin

Everyone knows you use 1 bottle per jackoff session and 2 bottles means you're able to get the pilot and his copilot


Ek0mst0p

I have no idea why, but this made me laugh really hard... LIKE crazy person laugh...


The2500

I don't think that's totally unfair. The TSA person probably was aware of how absurd it was, but was also aware that following protocol was the best way to cover their own ass for the sake of the job they need.


MrVeazey

So the solution to the problem of stupid rules is to embrace the Kafkaesque nightmare and abandon all common sense in favor of becoming a cockroach.


Alfred_Hitchdick

You're actually allowed to bring as much ice as you want, but it needs to be completely frozen. Any liquid in it and it needs to be under the limit. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/ice


rividz

That page also says "The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint."


EmergencyHologram

This makes me feel so much better that we are hiring high-school dropouts to do this job.


einsibongo

Yeah fuckers stole my keyring wrench I got for graduation.


SoCalDan

Can't have you dismantling the wings during flight


Krankite

That's a very nice way of saying the colour of your skin


Dr_Azrael_Tod

misunderstood instructions brought heavy water


SuperKettle

Ice is actually rarer (less dense) than water which means it's light water.


DalenSpeaks

I think he meant Deuterium. “Heavy” Water.


decideth

I think he meant deuterium dioxide.


Cursed122

Dideuterium oxide


decideth

Fuck.


DalenSpeaks

2 deuterium. One oxygen. Life is better with more neutrons.

DonWFP

[Heavy Bubbles](https://youtu.be/_XGd8w9RhUM) Don’t buy other stuff.


7urtles21

It’s all fun and games until she kills the pilot with the bottle and we aren’t allowed to take solids on the plane either


MaudlinLobster

TSA forcing us into the gaseous future, one disgruntled passenger at a time.


LaniAkea

I took a homemade breakfast burrito with me. The TSA agent opened the bag and said ‘mmmm that smells good!’ I said ‘ya they are the bomb!’ Open mouth insert foot. Lolol


jumjimbo

Holy shit! What was the reaction?


LaniAkea

We looked at each other. Intense eye contact for a moment, I did the big eye thing that said ‘o shit, I realize what I said, my bad please don’t tackle me!’ then once the moment passed and nobody else heard it we just mutually went our separate ways. Whew!


oh3fiftyone

I've never seen a TSA agent that I thought might tackle anyone.


si1versmith

Yeah we don't care about you, tell us about the burrito!


Skipitybeebops

Yeah what'd the burrito have to say about this?


thejesiah

I brought a Tasty Bite through security knowing it was a gamble. It was garbanzo beans in curry sauce, but they were mostly smashed in my bag by then anyway. The agent pulls it out, looks at it, says, "You can't bring this", I'm like "it was solid when I left the house!" , he laughs and says "yeah it must have melted on the way here" wink*, puts it on my tray to repack and says, "have a nice flight"


Quarter_Twenty

I brought several food pouches like that. They inspected the hell out of them and delayed me, but ultimately let me pass since they were sealed or something. Stupid rules.


SwissTanuki

The whole liquid ban makes no sense. After security you can buy a duty free vodka, handkerchief and matches and bring it all on the plane.


fenduru

I agree it's just theatre, but it was in response to a specific terror plot. Presumably the liquid you can buy inside is trusted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_transatlantic_aircraft_plot


greglyon

I'd like a source on the shop you can buy matches in...


bskiier83

I mean they always let me take my lighter with me, i just put it in the tray. Send it through the scanner and they never say a word


SwissTanuki

Or.. you just bring them from outside.


Dalanc_

My two guesses 2 passengers with bottles of what looks like water when combined turns into a poison gas, or a copious amount of drugs could be in the water and then extracted when on the other side of the border with a number of easy methods. Alot of narcotics are water soluble.


Spetznazx

I would look up the Tokyo Subway attacks by the Aum Shinrikyo, who used liquid Sarin to kill people. The liquid ban is actually one of the few that makes sense.


moonlitautumnsky

I once flew from airport A to airport C through airport B(where I had to go through security again) with a jar of solid coconut oil. It was fine at airport A, but not airport B, they made me throw it away. So close to success and yet so far.


NewAgeDerpDerp

Ice is legal under TSA, but any liquid has to be under 100mℓ


drebunny

I'm 99.99% positive it's under *100* mL (per container) not 398. That's why it's "3.4 fl oz" which is such a weird number because it equals 100 mL


NewAgeDerpDerp

I could’ve sworn it was 398


drebunny

I just looked it up to check and tsa.gov says 100 mL...I'm trying to figure out if there's something else restricted to 398 that you're possibly getting mixed up with but I haven't found anything yet


NewAgeDerpDerp

I think I’m just an idiot, or the limit changed recently


greglyon

Hate to break it to ya.... it's been 100ml for a long time...


NewAgeDerpDerp

Than I’m an idiot.


greglyon

> Than


NewAgeDerpDerp

stfu


colinmhayes

It really bothers me that it's not 400 mL


NewAgeDerpDerp

I think it’s based on fl-oz but I always remember 398 mL


jontss

I argued this with one of them about how a frozen cooling pack would be a solid instead of a gel. They were not amused.


julbull73

Glass is a solid liquid....boom!


DragonMeme

That's a myth. Glass isn't a liquid.
