Btw, why not water?

It throws up a false positive in the old scanners. There are new ones available that don't have a problem but they aren't widely available yet.

Dear TSA,

The human body is mostly water. And it's way more than 3 oz.

So how about a bottle of dry ice?

Came across this video where they were able to take ice through TSA. Your mileage may vary, follow at your own risk.

A friend has been challenged when trying to bring a nordic cheese (from Norway to France). The TSA equivalent said that it could be liquid if hot enough. Yeah... glasses too.

They didn't want France getting wind of their cheese and declaring war on Norway for having the audacity to have non-french cheese

Or just bring an empty bottle through and fill it up at the tap/water fountain?
