Thanksgiving leftovers that are (and aren't) allowed on your flight home

Updated


Ever wonder if you could bring a butternut squash in your carry-on while flying?

Probably not, but the Transportation Security Administration wants all passengers flying Thanksgiving week to know exactly which holiday staples -- including said squash -- are allowed on planes.

The takeaway here is this: If you can spread or spill a food item, then the TSA will most likely consider it a liquid, and you shouldn't try to bring it on a plane.
