You can bring a sandwich. You can bring an apple. But spreadable foods like hummus, peanut butter, and that gourmet goat cheese get the liquid rule treatment. A full jar of honey? Already told you about that nightmare. And don’t even think about soups or stew—unless you want to see a TSA agent sniffing a Ziploc bag of your grandma’s pho and asking “What is this?” (Just freeze it before you fly? No, no, that still counts as liquid once it melts.)

You are not going to spontaneously play baseball at 35,000 feet. Baseball bats, golf clubs, hockey sticks, and any item that could knock someone unconscious is banned from carry-ons.
