    It’s actually stated on the TSA website that frozen liquids are permitted. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/ice

    That’s odd…I’ve had TSA agents recommend this to get liquids through security.

      Last two times I flew I brought a metal water bottle (Hydroflask knockoff) filled with ice cubes. Went through fine. Then I added water at a fountain after security and during the flight I got to have that ice-cold water experience I crave.

      On my last trip I had a full water bottle with me and the lady said I had to throw it away, so I looked her dead in the eye while I chugged the entire bottle and stuffed the bottle in my bag.

      Fuckin tell me I can’t bring the water through again.

      I’ve done it before, it does. Though you could get an employee who doesn’t know this, or won’t accept it anyway.

    I brought frozen fish with ice packs through TSA. The TSA guy was a fisherman and wanted to talk about fishing.

      You’re not going to blow up anything with 30 % hydrogen peroxide. It also freezes at -30 C, not gonna freeze easily or stay that way for too long.

    Came across this video where they were able to take ice through TSA. Your mileage may vary, follow at your own risk.

    The human body is mostly water. And it’s way more than 3 oz.

      Security theater. Supposedly there’s a clear liquid explosive that someone tried to get through once. Of course, it’s bullshit, like everything else the TSA says.

      It throws up a false positive in the old scanners. There are new ones available that don’t have a problem but they aren’t widely available yet.

      because muslims can’t drink alcohol, they drink water. The TSA is trying to stop everyone from being terrorrists by only allowing them to buy and drink alcoholic products available after the security controls at the duty free shop.
