Unfortunately I found out the hard way. I was in a harried rush to make my flight for a yearly pilgrimage to see my parents in Boca Raton. While putting my carryon through the security machines I got nabbed for not 1, but 4 travel violations…
Similar to laptops, Kindles too need to be separated from your carryon bag before placing it in the X-ray machine.
Glass jars filled with stuff (like blueberry jam) need to be packed with your regular luggage or else they will be confiscated.
Bananas arouse suspicion (they never told me why).
Don't even think about bringing medium to big-size stuff with liquid (bottled water, snowglobes, etc.)HERE’S A MORE DETAILED LIST OF CARRYON NO-NO’s…
