The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has provided guidance on which Thanksgiving foods can be carried onboard flights as the holiday approaches. With an expected 18.3 million travelers over six days, this period is anticipated to be the busiest in history.
In a recent press release, the TSA advised passengers to consider how they will transport their favorite Thanksgiving dishes. "If you can spill it, spread it, spray it, pump it, or pour it, and it's larger than 3.4 ounces, then it should go in a checked bag," stated the agency. Foods requiring additional screening should be packed for easy inspection at security checkpoints.
For those unsure about specific items, the TSA recommends using resources such as the myTSA app's "What can I bring?" feature or contacting @AskTSA via Twitter or Facebook.
