On Friday I'm going to Indiana to see my 88 yr old Mom, and all 3 kids
are coming too(Youngest is 36). So I decided to take her and my other
relatives there a real treat - pulled pork. And DH & I make a killer
pulled pork. It is on the Kamado as I write and will be pulled and
frozen to make the trip. I can hardly wait to see their faces when
they taste it. My mom especially will enjoy it. The last time she was
here we were just learning to us the K for all the wonderful foods it
will cook. The briscuit we did was great, but this is the creme de la
creme.

I have searched the TSA website and can find nothing that precludes me
putting it into my checked luggage, but I'd sure feel better if I
could take it in my carry-on and never let it out of my sight. I fear
it could go home with a TSA person. Somehow the TSA has picked my
black nondescript el cheapo bag for inspection the last 5 or 6 times
straight that I've flown. My son has never found a love note from
them saying they have snooped, and he flies a lot. Go figure!!

So please think good thoughts that I will arrive with the piece of
piggie!! It is bad enough that I have to be wanded each time I fly
due to my 'new'knee setting off metal detectors.

Happy Qing to all,
Nan in DE

We've traveled with ribs and pulled pork in the carry on, but it was
over a year ago. From recent trips, I still don't think it'd be a
problem. FWIW, I'd place it in ziplock bags, instead of wrapping it in
foil, and use clothing to insulate it.

If you're going to be in the Fort Wayne area, I cannot recommend Nick's
Rib Room enough. They have incredible KC-style ribs, but the best thing
is to get the Porterhouse and ask them to dredge it in the rib sauce
before serving.

Note that according to this page you cannot pack dynamite, grenades, or
plastic explosives in either the carry-on or chacked luggage. Who knew?

I think it could be a great defense against middle-east hijackers.

"Well, Special Agent, I was chatting with my wife when a buncha wild-eyed
Osama-types, jumped up from their seats and started waving nail clippers
around whilst heading for the cock-pit door. All of a sudden, I thought
'ah-ha', reached into my carry-on, and pulled out a bag of pulled pork. I
grabbed a big ol' fist-full out and confronted the mopes, who immediately
dropped the clippers and fell to their knees weeping like scared virgins on
their wedding night."

Briscuit? New Hardee's breakfast sandwich?

You've obviously been observed facing east for an excessive period of time.
Or, you set the bag down facing east. Or, a terrist had himself secretly
woven into the fabric of your bag and the dogs can't quite figure it out.

They only leave a note if they can't find anything they want.


Carry it on and just tell them that the Q is the old knee that you keep as a
spare just in case.

Hey Nan. Have a nice trip and a great visit.

I've carried food in my carry on and checked baggage. Never a problem for
me.

Thanks all for easing my mind. Piggie is delish, we QC'd it lastnight.
It will be frozen so I could use it as a weapon against terrorists!!!
Like the woman who killed her DH with a frozen leg of lamb then served
it to the cops when they came to investigate. An old, old joke, kinda
lame.

That plot is actually from the old Alfred Hitchcock TV series!

Good luck

My wife and I have been flying to Big Green Eggfests for the last two
years. We take cooking utensils as well as food that we will be
cooking. Typically frozen sausage, shrimp, cheese, sauces, etc.
Without exception in the last 9 trips I got the love note from TSA, but
they let the food go on. You can't take it as carry on. -RP
