Peanut butter is now a liquid, according to the TSA

The Post has reached out to TSA for comment.

Also included on the TSA list of carry-on no-nos are creamy dips and spreads, hummus, and jams and jellies. Those are all classified as liquids that also have the same requirements as peanut butter.

However, it seems that Twitter users aren’t too happy with this rule and have started “spreading” the news to anyone who will listen.

“The percentage of water our bodies carry might as well be banned as well,” an user wrote in response to the agency’s tweet.

Another agreed, typing, “Thanks for protecting us from peanut butter. Not all heroes wear capes.

“Sand and sugar would like to say something about this definition of a liquid,” someone else joked.

However, it looks like the TSA may be onto something here.

Last December, a Rhode Island man was arrested at New York’s JFK airport after attempting to smuggle a disassembled gun in a jar of Jif peanut butter.

The TSA told The Post that officials found parts of the .22 caliber semi-automatic pistol wrapped in plastic and stuffed into two jars of peanut butter.

They found it in his checked luggage.

“The parts of the weapon were artfully concealed in two smooth creamy jars of peanut butter, but there was certainly nothing slippery about the way the man tried to smuggle his weapon,” John Essig, TSA’s Federal Security Director for JFK Airport, said in a statement. at the time.
