Reply to comment by HarlanCulpepper in TSA stirs debate after ruling peanut butter as a liquid by bwaredapenguin

I have stringent dietary restrictions and peanut butter is one of my favorite travel foods. Obviously, there are always alternatives, but classifying it as a liquid is stupid and another example of the security theater bullshit they put us through.

my sister has tons of food allergies and just recently had to beg TSA to let her keep her jar of jam (that plus some bread was her only meal for the 14+ hour travel day). If you guys end up on a flight together I bet you can make a great pb and j

Regardless of if it’s actually a “liquid”, it’s properties are those that security would be looking out for in explosives. So doesn’t sound too stupid to me (since we already have restrictions for liquids in general)

Isn't peanut butter a fairly easy item to procure upon arrival?
