As FWAA pointed out in a prior thread: "The Hazmat list of no-fly items is within the province of the FAA. Always has been. A can of spray starch is prohibited as an aerosol can by the FAA, not the airlines."
These are the restrictions.
If you look you can see a can of starch.
As Bart has pointed out previously, the general FAA rule is that aerosol cans are not permitted inside the cabin. The exception to this general rule are personal toiletry articles. Personal toiletry articles are those things you apply directly to your body. Hairspray, deodorant, insect repellent are toiletry articles. Starch, oven cleaner, spray paint are not.
