Will this cooler/gel pack go through TSA at the airport?. My last gelpack was confiscated bc it was not a solid frozen block.

yes. i have gone through several times with no problem. other times the digital thermometer display concerns the. and they open the cooler. for long trips i do sometimes use the solid ice that my med is delivered with.

As long as you clearly state that you have prescription meds, they have to let it thru, frozen or not. But then the TSA is not a group of very bright people. Just stand your ground, they will back down.

Yes, we take it through TSA all the time with a drawn up syringe of med as well as the med vial itself.

We did not have any issues getting through the Atlanta International terminal We drove to Atlanta from Montgomery with the Insulpak in a cooler just to keep it that much colder during travel> We also had a doctor"s letter listing my wife"s name medicine and dosage>

I fly frequently and use a different brand of "TSA Friendly" backpack design. Not once (in the USA) have I been asked to take the computer out of the bag: OAK, SFO, PHX, TUS, ALB, PDX, LIH, JFK, SEA so far. I do have to remove it in Japan at NRT, but they apologize and everyone has to remove the laptop. Now that I have PreCheck I don't even have to unzip it and lay it out, the whole bag goes through.

I cant say for sure, but I know that I would not try to bring it on a flight. Look on the TSA website - they have a page of confiscated items.

Probably not most airlines are very strict now a days.Most airports will only allow you to carry 1 oz liquid bottles on board(in a zip lock bag), but what if this is frozen when you board the plane? It's not like these can be tampered with, but your safest bet is to ask the airline you choose to fly with. Otherwise they will make you put in with your check-in-luggage, or most of them will make you leave it or throw it away before you board the plane.

HI! It is good for travelling, it does keep the milk cold, and fits in the hotel mini freezers. However during my first work trip with it on the return flight TSA confiscated the ice pack since it was not frozen (the freezer was not that good) and "they could not confirm what was inside". There was no issues with the milk. For my recent trip, I was not willing to loose another one (I bought a replacement) , hence I took one of those ice packs that look like bags. This time I had no issue at all through TSA. The bag was a almost forzen this time, still they did not mention anything about it. Hope I helped!!! HI!

I do not work for TSA but in my opinion it is not a liquid but rather a saturated paper. I took them to Europe last year in my carry on and suite case. I suggest putting only what you need for your flight in the carry on. Happy travels

Verify with TSA. But I believe no. http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items#4

I bet this will be confiscated by TSA agents. So, if you really need it, pack it in your checked baggage. If you are traveling without checked baggage...leave this at home. I had a great multi-tool that was shaped like a key confiscated and no matter how long I tried to argue, TSA would not budge. The dull blade on that key was probably no longer than 1 inch.

not without some overpackage .... ie would want o have it in a box or larger container. be better off shipping your items in dri Ice - shipped through Fed / UPS or similar ... some airlines would likely accept dri ice as cargo not as baggage in limited amounts

According to TSA list of prohibited items: https://www.tsa.gov/sites/default/files/assets/prohibiteditems_brochure.pdf - I would guess the answer is "no"

i did just that. used it as my carry on on a domestic flight to veil co...though as it is also my normal camping pack i checked and double checked that i hadn't left a knife or magnesium stick or anything "dangerous" inside. *edit* seeing the other comment i wanted to clarify, i flew out on American Airlines, and returned on Continental. so i know it fit in their o'head compartments

Probably not. Most places don't send it in a cooler. It needs to be kept cool. If the shipper is Kirkman, they will send with ice pack but add quite a bit to the cost for this. Even so, many times the ice pack is no longer cool when received, especially during hot weather.

I'm not an expert on this subject and I won't accept any liability for how this answer may be used. Hypothetically speaking, I would guess that this item falls in a grey area and would be subject to the discretion of the TSA officers one would encounter. I also suspect that one would, hypothetically, probably succeed in bringing this along in a carry-on. That said, I would advise checking the TSA website for specific information on what is and is not allowed and following TSA guidelines.

You may get by with it, especially in USA airports but when you go to other countries, it will be totally random. We have had small plastic toothpicks, diaper safety pins and various small key ring tools confiscated. I told one official that the 4" pry took had passed through TSA and foreign airport security without question many times...and was told "not a my airport!"

I've put it in a backpack and carried it onto a plane and didn't have any issues. Your mileage may vary, though, depending on how pissed off your local TSA reps are by the time you get there.

easily for a few hours, a flight would be a breeze to keep it chilled - but remember with FAA rules you cannot bring beverages on board- but for medicines or baby'smilk, etc youd be fine. We absolutely love it- take it on car trips a lot and the beach and it stays cold for a long time- ice packs also hold well inside if you know there will be a long period of time it wont be plugged in. We also bought a $30 converter with it that you can plug into a regular outlet a lot of planes have plugs nowadays too. So, if it is for medicine if you cal lthe airlines theyd find a seat for you that has an outlet too- enjoy!
