Official "funniest banned items" thread
 

So far we have reports of:

• Bagels with cream cheese (apparently bagels without cream cheese are okay)
• Jelly doughnuts
• Lubricated condoms (unclear whether non-lubricated condoms are okay or not)

What else?

And no, banning water isn't funny. It's just sad.

Someone had ice banned. He did argue it wasn't a liquid and while that technically that is true, the TSA were not amused.

I wish this were a laughing matter. :(

Hey, at least it gives me an excuse to use my favorite smiley. :p

Don't forget solid crystal deodorant stones.

And didn't someone mention that a screener tried to confiscate gummy bears until the supervisor overruled him? Of course, I think the TSA did add gummy candies to the list on their site over the weekend. :td:

TSA stupidity aside, anyone who uses a crystal as underarm deordorant, well, I may even ask for a secondary on something that strange. I'm as liberal as the next guy but rubbing a rock on your armpit is very disturbing.

Rollaboards with gel wheels? :rolleyes:

Never mind...

Orthotic insoles that contain gel

Maybe I am the only one that finds this funny...but gel inserts for shoes (Dr. Scholls, etc...)? Funny, yet very inconvenient for those who use them cause IIRC, don't those things cost a decent amount to replace?
Also...

They are not on the official list just yet
"All beverages, Camelbaks,similar backpacks and water bottles must be empty,Gel based sports supplements, Jellos, Puddings, Yogurts or gel like substances" (TSA List

Though its only a matter of time until overzealous screeners unofficially add them to the list or manipulate the definition of gel like substances. I like my gummie-o's when I travel...lets hope I can keep them!

Damn..beat me to it while I was typing. :-:

Hey, it works, doesn't cause issues for sensitive skin, and lasts around a year for a block.

LOL, I think that's the one I had in my thread.

Thanks to this nonsense, my number of posts are going up instead of just reading....lol

Well I finally found out that not everybody loves jello. :(
