Flying somewhere for Thanksgiving? Want to take your dinner (or ingredients for that dinner) with you? Here's what flies onboard with TSA and does not.
So, I guess bring the turkey as long as it fits in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you?
Good to know that if I have to fly with my Vermont Sportscar Maple Syrup (Limited Release #2), I'll have to put it into my checked baggage. 
Seems like anything prepared would be sitting in the "temperature danger zone" for a long time..........

Add enough salt or sugar and it'll preserve it. Right?
P.S. - It's scary to think I worked in food prep.
Reminiscing about the old days (pre 9/11) and I was working in Halifax. I had a flight back to Toronto and figured I'd bring my BIL a case of Keith's beer. I had no problem carrying a 24 of bottles through security, onto the airplane in the overhead compartment.
Different times.

the question is did it arrive to your BIL with all 24 bottles full? or did you find the need to sample during the flight...
In reply to ClearWaterMS :
While tempting, the shipment arrived intact!

Our Barrie, Ont office used to be close to the Labatts brewery. We'd always grab a case apiece when we flew home to FL. Miss those days.

One time pre 9/11 I flew home from Dallas with a hubcap for a 1975 Plymouth Volare in my carryon bag. The woman at the X-Ray machine gave me a big "Huh?" when she saw that. 
In about 1983 or so, my Dad bought a Jag Mk X while on holiday in England and had it shipped home. He was newly retired, he'd always wanted a Jag, and my Mom figured he was due for one, so she said OK.
To prevent pilferage, and just because, he removed the leaping cat from the hood before the shippers took the car away.
Guess which innocent-looking older Canadian gent pinged the metal detector at Heathrow three times before he remembered what was still in his pocket?
My Mom was amused at how quickly a group of Increasingly Alert & Nervous Security Staff transformed themselves into what she called "a bunch of little boys talking about cars."
Unfortunately, Bugs is going to have difficulty getting his famous Wild Turkey Surprise past TSA.

I don't know if it was mentioned in their list. Worth a try? 🤣.
I feel like Taz could use a Tums after that one.
I've heard of too many food related disasters when bringing food for Thanksgiving in a car (spilled casseroles in the carpet, etc.) to think trying it on an airplane would be a good idea.
Your fellow travelers will very much appreciate spending several unrefrigerated hours with your Great Aunts secret recipe for extra garlic marinated Herring and Pickles salad leaking from that old Tupperware that you forgot was cracked...
Yet another reason not to fly.
