Want to know if you can get that apple pie through security? Here’s how to find out

My daughter and I have both felt like crying at a TSA checkpoint. For Catherine it was years ago when a huge two-pack of Nutella was taken away from her. Apparently anything you can spread, smear, spray or spill has to be less than 3.4 ounces.

For me, it was on a recent return flight from St. Croix. Apparently, you can’t take pork items off the island so our Cuban sandwich was tossed.

Avoid our suffering. If you aren’t sure whether you can take an item through security, you can contact TSA customer service by Twitter, Facebook messages or text.
