I told DH on the way out of screening that we got to keep the two cans of tuna (in water) bahaha. I wonder if canned foods don't set it off for some reason.
I just give up. There is no rationale. I was told point blank by the TSA "if you can spread it, its a liquid." Nothing about gel vs. paste. I guess this means toothPASTE is now ok as well?
