Reply to comment by HarlanCulpepper in TSA stirs debate after ruling peanut butter as a liquid by bwaredapenguin

I run marathons and always pack peanut butter so I do not have to worry about finding some at my destination. It is part of a traditional race day breakfast.

The TSA had been restricting peanut butter container size for quite a while--I guess it was just unofficially until now.

Edit: I package it in multiple 2oz condiment "to go" containers.

Now the shops behind security are going to stock peanut butter and charge $20 a jar.

So, why not just put it in your checked baggage?

Better yet. Why not shut down a multi-billion dollar jobs program that has no record of actually preventing a single incident.

I do not check baggage.

Oh you're one of those...

If you refuse to check a bag I don't think you have much ground to complain about what you're allowed to carry on, especially when it isn't an immediate necessity.

??? Who is complaining?

Maybe he doesn't carry much. Doesn't make him a "type of person". He didn't say he "refused". Only his tendency. He wasn't complaining.

Unless you're bringing more than a week of outfits or you need to bring so much stuff that you can't fit it in a carry on, why would anyone choose to pay the extra money to check a bag
