AUS2008, it's Rudy's BBQ sauce, not that random junk at the airport gift shop. (I'm sure some of it's good, but I'm not getting that, who knows how long it's been sitting on the shelf) Texas BBQ sauce IS a medically necessary liquid! Are you kidding me?! Of course it is!
That being said, of the options RadioGirl gave me, the best-sounding one seems to be burying it in my carry-on bag & hoping they're flirting and being goofy. How is this "risky", by the way? It's a sealed bottle of BBQ sauce, what are they gonna do? It barely qualifies as a liquid, it's got pepper in it and other solids, hahaha.
If they do find it and harass me for it, what happens? I'll just be forced to check the bag in, right? Or shall something more devious and evil at the hands of a sinister cabal occur?
