Can you bring a sealed can of soda on a plane?
 
I know there are restrictions on liquids, like water bottles, toothpaste
tubes, shampoo, etc. What about soda cans? Since it would be a
challenge for most of us to put something into a soda can and then seal
it so that it looked factory-sealed, I'm wondering if this is okay to
bring through security.

Not allowed through security.

You can only take drinks on the plane that you purchase after security.

Thanks. That seems really dumb to me.

No. the restriction is against "liquids" both in the U.S. and other
countries.

So a can filled with "air" (air from city X, as a tourist gimmick) would
be OK to bring on the plane, but a standard 7-up or sprite depending on
your religion would not be OK.

So, a "souvenir" can filled from air from the Paris sewers would be OK,
despite the risk it may contain lots of compressed methane ready to
explode. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Can't wait for them to invent liquid explosives that are injected into
the body. They might ban human bodies through security :-)

As long as you buy the soda in one of the food concession stands after
you pass through the security gates, it is no problem.


At Manchester Airport in the Duty free section shop they have small
bottles of wine for sale, a notice is also on display that states
they are not for consumption aboard the plane!

When I think of the stuff that could be hidden in a 12-oz Coke
can it doesn't seem that dumb to me. Or are you thinking someone
who wanted to couldn't manage to make a Coke can look sealed?

We certainly understand your sentiment. It has been reported that the "ban"
on liquids taken through security may be repealed in 2009. So, stay tuned.

To ensure traveler's security, transportation security
officers (TSOs) may determine that an item not on the
prohibited items chart is prohibited. In addition, the TSO
may also determine that an item on the permitted chart is
dangerous and therefore may not be brought through the
security checkpoint.

Wouldn't it be OK if you bought your soda in transparent
containers of 3 fl oz or less?

It's the same as trying to take your own wine into a bar. You can have it
with you. but you can't open it.

So if that TSO didn't get layed last night, he'll confiscate my stuff with

Another reason to stay out of that contry of madmen.

After January 20th 2009 things will begin to change for the better.
Don't judge the U.S. on the last eight years of darkness.

This just in:

The TSA will allow passengers to bring soda cans through security
starting in february 2009.

However, to ensure contents are not lethal, passengers will be required
to vigorously shake the can, aim the opening at their own face, open it
and drink from it. To protect TSA agents, a new federal law will be
passed by congress to forbid the aiming of soda can openings towards
federal employees.

You probably have never been outside of the USA. Not that this has anything
to do with why you can't consume your own alcohol on an Aircraft, even

I travel world wide, but I'm not a big drinker. So your saying there are
places where you can bring your own?

I do not believe you. If that was the case you would miss your flights
through being detained by security.

Ken, don't bring your sealed soda can expecting it to be let through.
