My you like to live dangerously and tempt a trip to Gitmo. I'll guess that modeling clay has the same density as peanut butter, which on the TSA Xray false color display happens to look identical to C4, which comes in blocks about the size of a video cassette. . .
Either that, or the screener break room needed some educational materials beyond the TDC highlighter coloring supplies.

TSO's who post here say that they never confiscate anything nor are they allowed to confiscate anything.
How could that be if a harmless item is taken from someones baggage without their knowledge?
Is that what TSA calls surrendered?

Every organization has its fair share of bad apples. Some have a more fair share than others...

I guess so... but then upon their inspection, it would be obvious it was harmless, so why did it disappear? It wasn't any monetary loss, and my wife has since found a source for clay that she likes there in Brasil. I guess play dough for the kid is out?
If something was stolen, was a complaint filed?

Shouldn't be a problem, as long as you don't pack anything like a copy of T. Paine's "Common Sense" along with it -- literature like that could cause a TSO's head to explode.

But back to your OP, Reynolds has wider rolls of heavy duty aluminum foil, and some new products like non-stick foil. Though not Reynolds products Stretchtite and Freezetite are excellent plastic wraps for food storage. I ordered them through Amazon.

I was teasing- in the US grilling can be slang for a kind of interrogation.

My respects to you, Seor !!!
Next, I suggest to try the Mendoza blends of Malbec, Cabernet & Merlot.

It depends on the rays...to block the rays beamed out by the lizard people who live inside Mt. Rainier, you need copper foil - aluminum foil just won't work.
