Bringing caviar through security
Has anyone had the experience of bringing jars of caviar through security?
Would the jars be considered to be a liquid or gel and I would have to put it together with my toiletries?
Last think I want would be for TSA to confiscate my expensive beluga caviar.

Where are you coming from? I've brought spicy Japanese salmon roe in sealed jars in a freezer bag. JAPANESE customs just let it through when I told them what it was. I imagine caviar would be the same. Of course, you might not want to tell the incoming customs about it because they might take it away.

Well if the caviar has enough oil n it to pour they will take it away.
I had two jars of peanut butter, and try as I might to show that the peanut butter was not pouring I was not allowed to,take them thru security in CHS
