As he also mentioned, it has to be completely solid ice. Partial mixtures of ice and liquid, or a slush, are still prohibited.

( * - something about the freezing point of liquid explosives being prohibitively low, on the grade of requiring liquid nitrogen. I didn't pay too much attention to the science part of it; just sucked up the meat and potatoes and went on my way. )
Dean, why does TSA bother to pretend there's any scientific basis to its nonsensical liquids policies? Wouldn't it be easier for you all to come out and admit you're making it all up as you go along?
