...tube, you can't take it on board. There are a few exceptions outlined on the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) website (www.tsa.gov). Those traveling with a baby or a toddler can carry small amounts of baby formula and breast milk - only as much as you need for your trip. Gel- and liquid-filled teethers are also allowed as well as canned, jarred and processed baby food...

So post-9/11 airport supplications reached a new low, as throngs of passengers handed over their deodorant, hair gel and bottled water. The airline industry, which had just reported its best quarterly profits in six years, faces a possible new cataclysm. London Heathrow Airport came to a standstill, and one of aviation's most lucrative routes, between New York City and London, suddenly seems fraught with risk...
