You can see a lot of pictures of sycophants and fake news for fans on social networks, but whether they are true or not, we have to say that the list is quite short. Now the holidays are approaching, thousands of people are traveling in the second half of the year; repeated viral on TikTok which promised to be one of those tricks of the travelers in the United States. It turned out to be true.
Idea. It happened to many before our government. Forgetting that your water bottle cannot pass if it is not empty and is left without a bottle, which in the worst case is not even opened. It turns out that he just passed the bottle with the liquid.
Like? A bottle of water in the refrigerator before going through security allows travelers to bring water with them without violating the TSA’s strict liquid rules in the United States. So it has confirmed by the Home Security Administration to a recent question.
It seems that liquids are frozen, albeit for a while absolutely solid at the time of the review. And if it starts to melt (if it is logical unless you have a freezer); to use the 3-1-1 rulewhich limits liquids to less than 100 ml.

That’s why it’s important to check each country’s regulations before trying to overturn it.
and in Spain? We asked Aena if it was allowed to carry a bottle of frozen water through the Spanish airports, and she replied that in fact, that is the case, although it should be taken into account with some recommendations, “if you arrive with security. water that is not in a bottle in solid form, like a block of ice, when You will not be able to travel, but we recommend that you take that precaution, but always remember that the last word belongs to the Civil Guard.
