Are you spending Thanksgiving out of town this year? If you're one of the millions of Americans hopping a flight this week, take note! Traveling to Grandma's house doesn't necessarily mean that your friends and family won't get a chance to taste your world-famous pumpkin pie. According to TSA policy, pies — yes, even pumpkin and lemon and anything else that may seem "gel-like" — are explicitly permitted through airport security.
But be warned: Pies may have to go through "additional screening" and you'll have better luck if your pie is packaged in a way that allows it to be seen clearly by TSA agents.
The same, unfortunately, can't be said for cranberry sauce, gravy, jellies, jams or creamy dips and spreads. Bringing gifts? Remember that all gifts (food or otherwise) should be left unwrapped. If a security agent needs to perform secondary screening on any object, he or she will have to open the gift.
Get all of TSA's hints for happy holiday travel here.
