It\u2019s not the best feeling in the world: You stand in line at customs mentally going through that list in your head. The water bottle is empty, the laptop is out, you chugged that energy drink and are now busting for the bathroom. Waiting in line at airport security sometimes feels like a game of dice, nervously wondering what they are going to find wrong with your belongings<\/a>. We all know the purpose is to keep us safe, but you have to admit it seems just plain ridiculous to have to lose some items. Here are 10 surprising items that definitely won\u2019t get past security on your next flight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Soup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\"Things\n

Breast milk and baby formula are fine, but soup has to follow the 3.4-ounce packaging rule. That\u2019s not much soup. And don\u2019t try the chunky soup card. Soup is soup and will not be keeping you warm in the air. In fact, you can\u2019t take any hot drinks on board with you.<\/p>\n

Gravy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\"Things\n

If you are traveling for Thanksgiving<\/a>, don\u2019t bring your signature gravy! No matter how thick that gravy is, it is considered a liquid. Even if you think you can\u2019t possibly live without grandma\u2019s special recipe, the only hope of having a taste is if you are bringing less than 3.4 ounces.<\/p>\n

Peanut butter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\"Things\n

Hold an open jar of peanut butter over your head and the chances of the contents dripping out on you are fairly slim. However, TSA does consider this delicious spread a liquid so take the packets you hoarded from the hotel buffet so you keep under the 3.4-ounce limit. Alternatively, scoop your favorite nut butter into a small travel-sized container and pray it doesn\u2019t run out.<\/p>\n

Foam toy sword<\/strong><\/h2>\n\"Things\n

That toy sword your son won\u2019t let go of, the one that can\u2019t squash a fly? It\u2019s considered a weapon which means you won\u2019t get it on board. He\u2019d be better off with his lightsaber.<\/p>\n

Snow globes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The snow globe is a classic souvenir found in nearly every corner of the world, but if yours is larger than a tennis ball, you’d better check it, otherwise no luck here. If the liquid in your snow globes catches the attention of security, that amazing gift you got in the snowy mountains of Switzerland will meet its demise in the inside of an airport trash can.<\/p>\n

Magic 8 ball<\/strong><\/h2>\n\"Things\n

My son loves his Magic 8 ball, but according to the TSA, it has to be checked. Who wants that black liquid smashing and staining all your clothes anyway?<\/p>\n

Bowling pins<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Who would want to take bowling equipment on a plane? Hey, we’re not here to judge. But if you do, don\u2019t think you\u2019ll be getting a turkey on the plane aisles. Your bowling pins have to be checked, but you can take your bowling ball on\u2026 crazy, we know.<\/p>\n

Golf clubs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This one might not be all that surprising and yet here we are. Make sure you invest in a good carrying case for these valuable babies because they aren\u2019t allowed on board with you.<\/p>\n

Offensive T-shirts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Talk about things you can’t take on a plane. TSA and flight attendants both enforce this rule and a shirt with profanity or vulgar imaging is most likely to be banned. Keep a spare change of clothes or a jacket to cover up\u2014or just wear something else. The last thing you want to do is have to unpack at the airport<\/a> to look for appropriate clothing because security or airline staff don’t share you sense of humor.<\/p>\n

Pets under eight weeks of age<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you have a brand new furry family member under eight weeks of age, then delay your flight or find a friend to care for your little creature because your fur baby can\u2019t come. Once your pet does reach flying age, make sure you check with your airline because certain breeds are also restricted from flying<\/a>.<\/p>\n
