Is Durian considered as Liquid?
I'm just wondering if someone opens a durian and put them inside an airtight plastic container and bring it to his flight as carry-on,
Will the TSA confiscate it claiming as liquid?
What will happen if he open the container and dump the durian into their garbage can? Will it trigger a breach because of its smell
?
Will the passenger be on the watch list as potential terorist?

I don't know that I'd consider a durian a liquid, but I think possession of an 'unshielded' durian could be considered an act of aggression against anyone within 100 feet!

I recently read an article in which the author brought a sliced Durian back to his room in an elegant BKK hotel. The author sealed the Durian in a ziplock bag and covered it with ice in the bathroom sink. It must not have been very effective as hotel security arrived within minutes asking him to discard the offensive-smelling object. I believe I read this in the current issue of Vogue. Article was by Jeffrey Steingarten.

It might be considered as a chemical treat because of its wonderful smell. But yea, just walk into any bit Asian market store you'll find frozen, and fresh one. Fresh one of course is more expensive. Frozen one not quite, but I think you can bring the frozen up lolz, it might not smell as much

I vaguely remember hearing about durians. What do they taste like? And of course, what do they smell like? And what would be the difference in odor between a "fresh" Durian and a rotten one?
Does anyone know where I can acquire one in Florida?
And does anyone have a high-res pic of the "no durian" sign? That might be fun th put in the office break room.
