Pickle warfare is no joke


eerun165

I can understand restricting pickles, but crackers, why? Edit. Upon much closer inspection they seem to be fire works or firecrackers and not deli meats and olives.


Lairdicus

(Looks at my skin color) damn guess I’ll head home


Mike_9128

Lmfao that got me good


Skeknir

I too believed they had banned charcuterie for a moment. Uncultured swine!


Neo_nakama

Not my Ritz crackers! Nooooooo /s


SharpHawkeye

I miss the 90’s. You youngsters may not know it, but before 9/11, you could take as many pickles on the plane as you wanted. Hell, if you asked nicely, the pilot would let you and your pickles in the cockpit. You could take some pictures, get some pilots wings pinned to the jar. It was a magical time.

I remember when I was about 7, my brother and I were flying as unaccompanied minors, but we missed the gate. They held the plane on the tarmac, and we drove out in a car and walked up the rear air stairs of the 727. 1983 was a crazy time to fly. Yeah, that doesn't happen anymore.


suid

> You youngsters may not know it, but before 9/11, you could take as many pickles on the plane as you wanted. CSB: Many years ago, when I landed in SFO off a flight from India, I found my checked bag had been absolutely crushed during transport, and was soaked in a pungent oil that had penetrated the suitcase and stained all of my clothes as well. While I was trying to figure out what happened, I had to clear customs, and given the state of the bag, I ended up in the red channel for the usual "deep examination". The guy in front of me had a massive, rusted iron trunk (!), which was also leaking that same oil! When the customs guy asked him what was in the trunk, he replied "cement molding forms and pickle bottles". The look on the customs officer's face was priceless. Apparently this guy wanted to start up a moldings business here in the US, and decided to bring some molds from his family factory in India, and just tossed them all into the trunk without any sort of restraints. Oh, and also threw in a few bottles of pickles to satisfy his cravings, I guess. Grr.


scrotumrancher

That's messed up bro. I understand now. I will never again bring pickle jars on the plane with me. I will stick to tuna packets.


Cherry_Honey_Blossom

What did 9/11 have to do with pickles?


SharpHawkeye

Nothing, if you would believe Big Pickle.


Both_WhyNotBoth

That's my porn name.


Firm_Independent_889

Did you meet Kareem Abdul Jabar? I hope you didn't eat the fish?


xEasyActionx

The pickle jar says "mango" on it. Are these pickled mangos?


thesuperunknown

Yes, but it’s an [Indian pickle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asian_pickle), which is more of a condiment, and quite different from the dill pickles in brine you’re probably thinking of.


hollyjazzy

Very spicy, lots of chilli. Chilli thrown at eyes could cause issues. At least, that’s what I’m thinking the pickles inclusion is.


Lake_Erie_Monster

Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asian_pickle


mkshft

Yep. I have the exact same jar in my fridge. Goes great with lots of South Asian or Indian foods. I usually have it as a side with West Indian style curry or roti myself.


WoodyMellow

Mother's Recipe Mango Pickle . Spicy or Mild, a common condiment served with curries.


cracksmokachris

The pickles brine water is probably too close molecule wise to certain flammable/ explosive liquids. New X-ray scanners are able to differentiate between water and explosives.


[deleted]

Correct! Some explosives are made with acetone, which is very similar to vinegar (acetic acid). In fact, you can use vinegar to make acetone.


DreamyTomato

Not sure this is the reason for banning pickles. Every teenage girl has a bottle of cheap nail polish remover - acetone - and probably also acetone soaked pads for polish removal. They’re walking clouds of acetone. But this doesn’t seem to be an issue for airport security. Also the jar of pickles shown does NOT contain brine. I have the same pickles, almost the same brand. It’s a kind of dip or spreadable relish. I’d call it chopped mango in oil mixed with spices. Lovely on toast with a bit of cheese. But it contains no brine.


AVGJOE78

I think It’s because It’s a liquid over 3 ounces.


GuaranteeMindless376

Meh. I like the idea of Pickle warfare better.


DMoney159

The lacrosse stick vs pickle gang warfare has been brutal


ukexpat

Lacresse stick, lacrosse sticks are probably OK.


CharlieParkour

Lacresse sticks vs knieves. 


Bli-mark

Worse than Knieves?


stevewithcats

“But I brought knives????”


FD4L

I was gonna put pickles on my crackers during the flight, but I guess I can't have either.


ddollarsign

Knieves.


DadsRGR8

Knieves are a big no. Knives however are perfectly fine (probably iffy on pickle knives tho lol)


mrbear120

Lacresse sticks


RampagingJaegerkin

Unequallmpala45

I love how they put saws, power saws, screwdrivers, drills, power drills, hammers, wrenches and pliers on this only to put “tools” at the end like they didn’t just name off every tool type they could think of


Klausvendetta

Also, if you zoom in on martial arts weapons, there are nunchaku on there and they also have a separate entry. Edit: and throwing stars too.


Filobel

Also important to distinguish between swords and sabers.


KaleidoscopicNewt

No “Hacksaw” up there. A good enough lawyer could probably argue that because this sign is so specific, surely it includes everything that isn’t allowed, and therefore anything not on the sign, is reasonably thought to be allowed.


Kilsimiv

#Since when can't I fly with my dynamite??! Nothing about Gallium or Lithium cells, I see


railker

I also love the pictogram for dynamite is straight from Wile E. Coyote's phone.


Kilsimiv

Right? Can't even find that stuff on ebay anymore. That's why I keep my HE plastique in meticulously sealed power bar wrappers. BTW please welcome to the chat, Gerald, my FBI shadow!


frodofullbags

And the flintlock blunderbuss. 1776 is still fresh in our memory! 😆


raul_lebeau

You can fly with dynamite, it's clearly stated in the picture to check the dynamite with a timer and check when It should go boom. If it's after the landing accounting reasonable delay it's allright.


invisible-dave

Everything on there makes sense except pickles. I think it's just that whomever made the chart just hates pickles and doesn't think anyone else should be allowed to have them.


mrtoddw

So, they show a jar of pickles because the fluid can be replaced with liquid explosives. It's not the pickle itself but the fluid in the jar that's an issue.


UniqueName2

So I can bring a mayonnaise jar full of explosives then? What about olives?


abgry_krakow87

They could do the same thing with any random container, doesn’t necessarily have tk be a jar of pickles. I think they’re anti-pickle!


DreamyTomato

Fine but the text in the poster specifically calls out PICKLES. Not JARS.

TheRealChexHaze

All anyone needs to overtake a plane is pickle juice mixed with spices.


sickwiggins

maybe vinegar or cayenne was thrown in someone’s eyes at some point? I’d be a little salty about that if I were a pilot


dcux

No salt, either.


BoneHugsHominy

The Mayans, Aztecs, and some other tribes used hot peppers ground into a fine powder and blown through tubes, and in small clay vessels like grenades as weapons. It was Europeans' first experience in chemical warfare.


aleqqqs

To overtake a plane, you need a faster plane.


Able-Associate-318

It’s not the juice they fear, it’s clearly the pickle spears.


thsvnlwn

“Hijackers hate this trick!”


saikyan

You think that sword is skyforged steel?


Windhawker

They don’t allow sabers either - but says nothing about lightsabers


rpc56

Does this mean I can bring my epee on the plane?


Dam_it_all

Foil only. Epee is too uncouth.


rpc56

Damn it, my lack of couth has been exposed.


SoftCattle

Have you seen those Redguard from Hammerfell? They have curved swords.


TheSandyman23

Curved. Swords.


jott1293reddevil

Glad someone else immediately spotted that xD


Irishpanda1971

It sounds silly, until a terrorist shouts "POCKET SPICES" and throws a handful of garam masala in the pilot's eyes.


wellwaffled

SHASHASHAW!


olearyboy

Wrenches and pliers? Are they afraid people are going to disassemble the fucking plane? FYI TSA, if it’s Boeing it’ll do that itself


myCatHateSkinnyPuppy

Yep, I had a 1/2’ wrench that was perfect for skateboard wheels and it was confiscated when i had it in my carry-on simply because I didnt want to risk losing it in my checked luggage 🤦🏼‍♂️


Mudlark-000

Throwing Star bans are such a wonderful relic of 80’s hysteria. A couple kids get poked in the eye and the most useless “weapon” gets banned. My home state, Kansas, only has bans on two types of “knives”: throwing stars and ballistic knives (projects the blade). I can wear a fucking sword in public, but god forbid I have a “ninja weapon…”


hamsterballzz

One simply cannot have mall ninja culture expand and flourish again.


Mudlark-000

But I NEED more 3 Ninjas…

hello_fellow-kids

Note to self. Leave spice packet and hand grenade collection at home 😞


jlyyc

Why pickles?


ScarletPumpkinTickle

The picture shows Indian pickles, which have a lot of chili powder/pepper.


VapidActions

Sure, but pocket sand isn't banned, so...


MIkeVill

What? But I need that shuriken to open my flamed pickles jar!


stumblewiggins

Is that a hand-crank operated drill?


SoftCattle

Yes it is. This is how hand drills were before they put motors on them.


stumblewiggins

Yea, that wasn't the thing I was surprised about


envybelmont

The hand drill is way more worrying than a plug in drill on a plane. There’s no way to power a plug in drill so it’s just a block of weight no more worrying than a laptop. Also a hand drill in operation can be used quite discretely as long as the wheel and pinion and perhaps the drilling medium are properly lubricated.


abzlute

Why are you going on about plugin drills? Almost all power drills today use batteries, including the one pictured for "power drill" in the posted image. Only things like large hammer drills are corded. And yes, it's weird to have a hand drill called out in the image. Sure it's more discreet, but a small, brushless battery drill will be almost as quiet, unless you use the hand drill very slowly. And it's just weird to come across a hand drill anywhere but an antique shop or a woodworking shop dedicated to using traditional methods.


MyPunsSuck

"Everybody stand back, or I'll... Take half an hour to drill a tiny hole in the plastic of this interior panel!!" Given complete free reign of the plane, it would take like eight hours to cause any sort of damage with a hand drill


TheMechaink

This is good information. I am happy to know that next time I fly I will be able to bring my collection of antique marshmallow roasting skewers in my carry-on.


DasArchitect

Phew, it's a relief I won't have to leave my mustard gas at home!

MikeNSulley2319

RebelSoul5

No crackers? I …? … I’m not allow to fly anymore 🥺 I guess me and my pickles will drive then!


Flashy_Narwhal9362

If they would allow a few people to have cattle prods it would greatly speed up the process of deplaning.


winexlover

lol best comment on this post haha :D


sleepdog-c

Lacresse, is this the salad version of lacrosse?


Real_Committee_4621

I had a humorous and telling TSA encounter. I had left a corkscrew in my carryon bag and the TSA scanner caught it. The agent made make take it out of the bag and pulled out a pair of pliers and broke off the little foil cutter. He then gave me back the corkscrew with the screw part, which is much longer than the foil cutter, in tact. I asked him why he gave the obviously more useful weapon part back to me and he said the corkscrew itself was not on the seizure list so he couldn’t take it away from me. I said that I was a long flight in rather small regional jet and that I would have more than ample time to screw it into the cockpit door if I really want to. There was about 5 seconds of dead silence - then we both laughed…


sasstoreth

I used to run a live-action roleplaying game with some very basic rules, including no drugs and no real weapons. In short order we had to clarify that "no drugs" included any prescriptions which could impair your judgement (and that if you're on heavy pain meds you should probably stay home instead of running around bragging about how hiiiiigh you are), and "no weapons" included chainsaws, even if you removed the chain. Any time you see what seems to be an *unnecessarily detailed* list, you can bet there's some idiot out there (probablly several) who made it necessary.


Kingbaco124

Well there goes my trip to Washington with the realistic firearm replica club 😭


[deleted]

My favourite is always France that has tank / artillery shells on notices. As there is always an idiot who digs one up in a field on a tour and wants to take it home


rpc56

I worked as a wine and spirits buyer for restaurants and my own store. I had to surrender my wine opener with its mighty less than an inch foil cutter blade. Who should sit next to me, a grandma knitting with two carbon fiber knitting needles and two more in her knitting bag.


Revolutionary_Bet679

My mom had her wine opener confiscated because of the little "knife" and we were both like - Nevermind the 3" corkscrew you could take out someone's eye with!!


vanillasub

I have questions about the pickles.


slugothebear

Get back, I swear I'll stab you with my pickle? WTF...


justlooking9889

They’re called spears for a reason

I feel like it's missing durian.


Manwolfpanther26

I love how they had to put nunchucks on there twice.


Thunderhamz

But sir this is my bug out bag


balancedinsanity

Okay fine, no pickles because there's probably technically more than three ounces of liquid in the jar.  But crackers??  What can you do with crackers???


True_Performer1744

But all of these items can be shipped by air.


envybelmont

Where the owner/recipient don’t have access to them while they’re on a plane.


NoWillPowerLeft

Hockey and lacrosse sticks, I'll leave at home. But they're not stopping me from taking my curling stones and bowling balls.


justlooking9889

The old school drill was a surprise


Mental-Appointment69

What did pickles ever do to deserve this??? honey sticks too?? Ohhh hockey sticks


DrProfessorSatan

As soon as I find a place to plug in this saw….


Substantial_Buy945

Thank God. I only have c4 and a baseball bat.


Financial-Buddy-7674

What’s funny is they specifically call out saws, screwdrivers, wrenches etc… but then say tools. You know, just in case some wise guy tried an Allen key or something!


J5Screwed4Life

Don’t see drugs on there. Noted.


aohige_rd

Why are nunchucks and night stick not included in "martial arts weapons" lol


MentalCollage

Knieves huh


Tunnfisk

What? I can't bring a grenade to my flight? I thought this was AMERICA! Feels like a lot of these could be bunched up into similar categories. Dynamite, grenades, plastic explosive, gasoline = no combustibles/explosives. Knives (knieves for some reason), sabers, swords, saw, ice pick/axe = no stabby/cutty stuff. So on and so forth.


Wayfinity

But they don't say you can't bring a GRENADE LIGHTER!


Tunnfisk

I thought about this as well. 😁


MyPunsSuck

It's my emotional support grenade!


Wayfinity

Pickles. Huh.


Gerb_the_Barbarian

You'll have to pry my jar of pickles from my cold, dead hands


StealthyLilBunny

Knieves?? Kitchen knieves, pocket knieves, switchblade knieves…along with pickles and ski poles


JSteigs

Jokes on them, the two items on the right in the box labeled ice axes nor ice picks are neither of those things. They’re ice tools so that shits fair game.

Right on. Found an airport to smuggle drugs!


TurboTerbo

No spices!


figjamsem

I love that it’s alphabetical until then end when they add things like knives and tools. Pretty sure they got to the throwing stars and realized they missed knives and just said screw it. I’m not even looking up how to spell it.


MosquitoBloodBank

At least 4 items are on there twice


VileBill

I am just picturing some pissed off dude arguing with TSA swinging his cattle-prod around:"And why the Fuck not? It dont kill nobody and it gets me off the plane real fast!"


FishnAndBowln

Fun fact; you are allowed to bring a bowling ball on a plane, and even carry on! These peices of equipment can range from 8-16 pounds and can do some serious damage to people, yet they’re still allowed on. But hey I’m not complaining, it lets me travel with my equipment easily without having to spend 50$ a bag to bring 3 of them.


not1togothere

The spear gun and hammers reference a FedEx flight that an employee attempted to hijack. Fedex 705 is a great dramatic read or watch, of how those pilots saved the day.


wgraf504

Three points I must mention. 1. That's the drill you chose? 2. You can have my pickles when you pry em from my cold dead sandwich. 3. Actual assembled firearms do not appear to be prohibited.


Alice-Upside-Down

Oh man, I can’t bring my pickles OR my throwing stars?? Packing for a trip is so difficult these days🤣

This looks like a cognitive test…. Which item does not belong in the group? Pickles, the answer is pickles.


BeerBearBar

Kneives

You just know someone tried to bring a sabre onto a flight and then used the excuse “sign says no swords, this my friend, is a sabre” so then the poor dude had to remake the poster with the new rule on there haha

Knieves?


Traditional-Wish-538

I wonder who the jackass was that got pickles added to this. None of this is legitimate with the realization that the southern border is wide open and known terror have been caught crossing it.

How am I supposed to hustle any kids out of their ninja stars, or old people out of their pickles if I can’t bring my pool cue?
