That's really strange. I just flew back from Kona 3 days ago with two 6 oz. packages of sea salt in my carry on. No problems with tsa in Kona and then when I went thru security at LAX 2 days later for a different flight I had no problems with it either. My first flight from KOA to LAX was on Hawaiian but my LAX to DFW flight was AA.
