In my own brain deodorant can be:
* gel (semi-opaque, clearish coloring, slimy)
* stick (white, somewhat harder than gel, opaque)
* aerosol (self-explanatory)

The TSA site says
"Deodorants made of gel or aerosol"
are banned from carry-on

I have not been stopped with stick yet but have not had a bag search either.
Has anyone else been prevented from carrying on (my version of) stick deodorant?
