This is nuts.
According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), peanut butter is classified as a “liquid” — which means that you better re-think bringing that jar of Skippy on your next vacation, the NY Post reports. The TSA took to Twitter this week to make the friendly reminder, explaining that you can only bring it in your carry-on if it’s 3.4oz or less.
“You may not be nuts about it, but TSA considers your PB a liquid,” they wrote. “In carry-on, it needs to be 3.4oz or less. Make sure all your travel-sized liquids fit in one quart-sized bag. #PeanutButter.”
Junk.
This is not news. This has been the case ever since liquids were outlawed in carry-ons.
UK security confiscated my peanut butter at Heathrow Airport a dozen years ago.
did you have jelly as well? and bread?
Mayonnaise also
“Okay, fine, I won’t bring my peanut butter on board with me,” tweeted one peanut butter sandwich aficionado in response to the TSA’s new directive. “But let’s be fair about this. From here on, I want to be served peanut butter sandwiches on all my flights. No ifs, ands, or buts! Got that?!”
“And the standard mini sized packs of peanuts they give us on board will not do the trick,” he said. “It’s got to be peanut butter, and it’s got to be a sandwich, and it’s got to be whole wheat bread! And it’s got to be ‘Skippy’s Chunky Organic No Artificial Flavors Or MSG Added’ peanut butter, otherwise I’ll be taking Amtrack from here on! Got that TSA?! And please don’t check my pants pockets, shoes or socks to see if there’s any peanut butter glued to them! I may be crazy about peanut butter, but THAT crazy, I’m not!”
Is it the butter or the ground peanuts that’s ‘liquid’? Can any of these be taken along on carry-on?
did anyone ever make a bomb out of peanut butter?
Apt. And many exposives can be made to resemble peanut butter.
Just like with the flimsy disposable masks during Covid, this new peanut butter ban is all for THEATER!!!

Pour into a 24-cavity truffle mold or into the prepared baking pan. Place in the freezer for 2-4 hours until the truffles are set. At this point you can unmold the truffles, place them in a plastic bag and store in the freezer until you’re ready to eat them.
If using a baking pan, cut into 24 squares and store the squares in the freezer until you are ready to eat them.
Tips and Tricks for Making Peanut Butter Fat Bombs
This recipe can be made in small truffle molds or as a fudge in an 8 x 8 baking pan.
Use this truffle mold for perfectly round truffles.
If you’re using silicone truffle molds, you do not need to prep them.
If you’re using a baking pan, line the pan with parchment paper with enough paper to cover the bottom and sides of the pan.
You may need to check how many carbs are in the peanut butter you’re using as it can very between brands.
These fat bombs are meant to be kept frozen. Not only do they hold together better, but they also taste good this way—and they keep you from scarfing the whole lot down in one sitting. Or that’s the theory anyway.
If you’re allergic to peanut butter, use almond butter. You can also try this same recipe with cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter if you prefer.

I also use peanut butter in my Kenyan Kunde recipe, as well as in my West African stew recipe.
No, no bombs from PB. It’s a “lo plug”
