“Well, we know that people often like to bring special foods or drinks to share with their family and friends, and we see that a lot during the Thanksgiving travel period. If your food is a solid – and examples of that are meats and cheeses, breads, cookies, those types of things – bring them through in unlimited quantities, because those are allowed. It’s when the food is considered a liquid or an aerosol or a gel that there’s a restriction.”

“Now, a lot of people ask us what constitutes a liquid or a gel or an aerosol. And we like to say, ‘If you can pump it, pour it, spill it or spread it, that is a liquid.’ And that needs to adhere to the liquids restriction of 3.4 ounces or less.”

“People bring entire turkeys to the checkpoint. So obviously, that was what they were assigned for the meal, and they’re bringing it through. It is allowed. Another thing we see a lot of, interestingly enough, is soups – special soups that people have made. Or on the way back after Thanksgiving, maybe grandma made something special for you and you bring it. The soup has to be in that smaller quantity, as well.”
