3. A Drinkable Birthday Surprise
TSA’s social media accounts, like @AskTSA, are great resources for travelers who aren’t sure about their luggage contents. One woman utilized this service to check if her birthday cake was flight-ready.
The twist was that the cake wasn’t made of sponge and frosting, but of liquid. While the cake itself was cleared, passengers are reminded that they can only carry 3.4 ounces of liquid in the cabin. Furthermore, even if you sneak your own alcohol on board, federal law prohibits you from serving yourself mid-flight.
