Just a friendly warning from Gate C24: I went through security this morning but was stopped as my carry-on was pulled for further inspection. The agent opened my bag and pulled out my tub of soap. She took a look at it and said that I couldn't take it through because it was more than 3.4 oz. I asked about why it mattered since it was solid. She asked if she could touch it (while gloved) and I said that she could. She poked her finger into it and said that it had to be rock solid in order to be considered to be solid.
Now I'm bummed because I had to abandon my tub of B&M Softheart Figarose.... (There was no way I was going to try to deal with mailing it or finding some other solution on one of the busiest travel days of the year.) I'll have to see if I can find another tub since I really loved that soap.
So I wanted to let folks know that TSA may check your soap! Make sure you grab a hard puck or at least choose something you don't mind losing.
