Ok. I am definitely going to do this. I'm still laughing from this one.
Thank you everyone for the thoughtful comments. I think we've decided that as long as I: mark it as 3 fl. oz., don't turn it into a pie, am prepared for quizzical looks at security, and can correctly identify its kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species, as well as be able to produce a doctor's note, I should be ok.
I'll post back to the board soon with the outcome of my travels with the pumpkin. Hopefully, they will be dull.
