Practical Travel Safety Issues - Protien Drink Mix - Carry On or Check

Very quick question. I'm going on vacation for a few weeks and instead of buying the mix when I get there I'm taking it along with me. I'm needing to take a blender bottle along as well as the mix itself. It will work out to be 2 large containers and one smaller one.

I'm assuming that I'll need to check the containers, correct?

It is powder, it is fine.

Of course, you may have to explain to the TSO du jour what your large quantity of powder is, since they may suspect that your powder is drugs ... oops, I mean explosives. :rolleyes:

so i can carry it on?

so i can carry it on?

I've carried a large amount on. I recommend keeping it in the original container if you can.

I've done it both ways.

Up until the TSA hears a rumor about a "powder bomber".
