block of tofu
hey, anyone ever try to bring a block of tofu (12.3oz) in your carry-on? in this type of packaging http://www.morinu.com/store/page3.html
tofu is a solid ~90% water, and on the tsa website i see they count jello as a liquid, even though it is a solid.

I'd press out all the water and then wrap the brick up in Saran wrap. It may still not get through, but it will be much more like a firm cheese that way with the water removed and I've never had a problem with cheese.
Also ... tofu's cheap ...are you going someplace where it's not available?

You know, someone could have alot of fun traveling around the country trying to bring odd items through security such as tofu and documenting the results.
Couple of thoughts:
- A soaked sponge inside plastic baggie with more than 3oz liquid net weight
- Exactly 100 .03oz sample size packets of eye cream inside a baggie
- Ice cream cake
- Multiple pairs of gel filled insoles
- Various filled donuts (ie, jelly ok but no on the boston creme!)
