Several years before all this mess started, I was taking a jar of cactus jelly with me as a gift to my hosts. I guess glass jars filled with goo raise issues on the x-ray, so I had to unwrap it and explain what it was. They had never heard of it--and they sell it in the gift shops at the airport. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif

I'd never take my Silly Putty with me. But that's because I have a pound of it. A friend of mine in Mountain View used to buy 100 pound quanities of it from a chemical company and distribute it to co-workers. He even had the material spec sheets for them. At that time (4-5 years ago), it cost $10/pound in bulk.
A one pound Silly Putty ball can be a rather dangerous thing. And it could really mess up an airplane carpet! |
The best suggestion so far: A letter from your shrink stating you must be able to play with the silly putty or you'll go nuts.
The funny (?) thing is, I bet that some security goober head would only let you on the plane with that kind of letter. On my last trip, I got pulled over and the bags were ripped through - the guy finally pulled out what he was looking for, smiled and then said to the X-ray dude, it's only a tea ball. (tea ball - holds the loose tea to make a cup) Then he looked at me, It is only a tea ball isn't it? I assurred him it was. What a hoot. ------------------ TANSTAAFL - but if you work it right, FF miles comes pretty close. |
