speculoos and tsa
ok....stupid question time.....
does tsa classify speculoos spread as a gel and deny me bringing it aboard in a carry-on? the jars are glass and it has consistency of nutella. the crunchy version has bits and pieces.

When you used speculoos in the title, I was thinking of the biscuits not the spread and was thinking oh, noooo!
Given past practice, I would think that many TSA staff would consider it a gel and therefore, under the liquids ban.
if it helps my flight is bru-iad-jfk and I don't remember if you have to go throught the tsa security in iad or just customs.
Flying into any intl gateway in the US and transiting you do have to go through tsa checkpoint. Speculoos spread is like peanut better and would almost certainly get "voluntarily surrendered" from carryon bag.

Yes, you will have to re-clear TSA security at IAD after customs and you will have to either surrender your item or put in your bag and then check your bag
