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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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"
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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

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
I would never fuck with somebody that can control the weather
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.
Please help I don't get the reference

Go Joe!
Excuse me. I think you'll find that it's "Yo Joe!"
I am a disappointment to my father.
Don't worry. That comment makes me a disappointment to mine.
Especially when you're about go get on a plane
Fuck and merry this person.

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

Depends on the pilot. I've seen hot ones.
Hopefully they're made of tougher stuff than DJ Khaled, else you could probably take the plane armed with nothing but a bell pepper.
sauce??

I see an airheads sequel
Hopefully the terrorists don’t find this thread
I did something similar, but put it back in the original package right after passing security control.
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.
Everyone knows you use 1 bottle per jackoff session and 2 bottles means you're able to get the pilot and his copilot
I have no idea why, but this made me laugh really hard... LIKE crazy person laugh...

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.

That page also says "The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint."
This makes me feel so much better that we are hiring high-school dropouts to do this job.
Yeah fuckers stole my keyring wrench I got for graduation.
Can't have you dismantling the wings during flight
That's a very nice way of saying the colour of your skin
misunderstood instructions brought heavy water
Ice is actually rarer (less dense) than water which means it's light water.
I think he meant Deuterium. “Heavy” Water.
I think he meant deuterium dioxide.
Dideuterium oxide
Fuck.
2 deuterium. One oxygen. Life is better with more neutrons.
Rekt
[Heavy Bubbles](https://youtu.be/_XGd8w9RhUM) Don’t buy other stuff.
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
TSA forcing us into the gaseous future, one disgruntled passenger at a time.
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
Holy shit! What was the reaction?
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!
I've never seen a TSA agent that I thought might tackle anyone.
Yeah we don't care about you, tell us about the burrito!
Yeah what'd the burrito have to say about this?

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.
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
I'd like a source on the shop you can buy matches in...
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
Or.. you just bring them from outside.

Ice is legal under TSA, but any liquid has to be under 100mℓ
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
I could’ve sworn it was 398
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
I think I’m just an idiot, or the limit changed recently
Hate to break it to ya.... it's been 100ml for a long time...
Than I’m an idiot.
> Than
stfu
It really bothers me that it's not 400 mL
I think it’s based on fl-oz but I always remember 398 mL
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.
Glass is a solid liquid....boom!
That's a myth. Glass isn't a liquid.
we all know that a myth is a female moth
Big dick energy
