Pretty much everything can be a solid, liquid and gas state. How do they decide what is allowed and what isn't? For example if you take keys through, the metal can be melted to a liquid. Will they take our house keys from us because at the time they are in a solid state and where once in a liquid state?

Unless there is a rule saying things that are liquid at room temperature?
That's pretty much what I'm thinking. I would be counting on the fact that a block of liquid frozen solid would look like a solid to a TSA agent, and that agent might not know/care that it is a liquid at room temperature...

OTOH, i could get a really overzealous agent who might cause me no end of trouble. Hmmm...
