Sometimes individuals want to travel with food items. That’s just fine TSA. If you’ve spent time baking your favorite cookies, or if you want to bring a birthday cake or other tasty treats, you can bring these other food items with you when you fly. If the food item is a solid (i.e.: cookies, cake, pie, pizza), then you can pack it in your carry-on bag. If the food item is spreadable or pourable, then it must be 3.4 ounces or less to comply with the 3-1-1 liquids rule to travel in your carry-on bag. If it has more than 3.4 liquid ounces, then it should be packed in a tightly sealed container in a checked bag. If you’re unsure if your food item should go in a checked bag, consider this: If you can spill it, spread it, spray it, pump it or pour it, then please pack it in your checked bag.

Tips on traveling with gifts

Sometimes travelers want to bring gifts to friends and loved ones. That’s also just fine with TSA. What we hope that you understand is that if your wrapped gift triggers an alarm, the gift might need to be unwrapped for TSA officers to resolve the alarm. So instead of wrapping a gift, please consider using a gift bag or a gift box so that resolving the alarm will just mean removing the item from the gift bag or gift box without needing to unwrap it. Or, consider wrapping the gift upon your arrival.
