i'm flying back to d.c. this month, and wanted to check the list of prohibited items:
my favs for prohibited for carry on:

• Ice Axes/Ice Picks
• meat cleavers
• Sabers
• Swords (does this include the bible?)
• Bows and Arrows
• Pool Cues
• Cattle Prods
• Kubatons
• Nunchakus
• Throwing Stars
• Dynamite
• Cheese in pressurized containers
• Jell-O's
• Pudding

but chuck norris is still allowed to fly? wtf?

 

[Changleen]

Pudding?

 

[BurlyShirley]

You mean Bows and Arrows and Nunchucks and DYNAMITE werent prohibited before?

 

[Transcend]

WTF, they banned jello?

 

[$tinkle]

however, these items are allowed:

• Toy Transformer Robots [not the real ones?]
• personal lubricant (less than 3 oz.)

but i seem to recall a recent flap about somebody getting caught with a prosthetic schlong & being asked to check it.

i say the jell-o eating terrorists have won

 

[Transcend]

Bill cosby must be double banned for life if they aren't allowing pudding OR Jello.

 

[Changleen]

I guess jello and pudding are banned because in someone's mind they kinda look like what a plastic explosive kinda maybe could be like in a hollywood movie?

I was just looking at the list today too...

...to ensure the health and welfare of certain air travelers the following items are permitted:

"All prescription and over-the-counter medications (liquids, gels, and aerosols) including KY jelly,...for medical purposes."

Right...for "medical" purposes. Members of the mile-high club probably fought for this one.

I think if you're carrying jello or pudding, they should make you eat it and then go outside and jump around. If you don't blow up, you're cool.

 

[SofaKingBanned]

well, guess Ciaran can't fly any more

 

[H8R]

There goes my exploding Easy Cheese plot...

You think that is funny until the guy ahead of you in line tries to bring this on board.

I don't see MACE on that list.

"2,212 firearms were discovered in carry-on bags at checkpoints across the country, averaging more than sixfirearms per day. Of those, 2,212 (83 percent) were loaded." Nice math, TSA!

What about snakes ? Can you take your snakes on a plane ?

What about snakes ? Can you take your snakes on a plane ?

Only if they contain less than 3 oz of fluid.

"An 8.5” knife was discovered in an enchilada at the Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (STS)"

Just to be clear, the knife was the prohibited item, right?

that would explain the blood in the diarrhea if nothing else

 

[JohnE]

Who carries on an enchilada anyway?
