I’ve packed some food with in a freeze bag alongside some frozen water bottles in it to keep it cool. But appearently water is not allowed within a size limitation, and that somehow includes ice. I’ve had to argue for 10 minutes about what is solid/fluid and they eventually let me keep it.
The sad part is that you’re correct. Ice is specifically allowed under TSA guidelines. I guess because if it’s frozen, it’s “proof” that it’s just water and not anything more sinister. Because flammable clear fluids like alcohol or butane don’t freeze as easily.
You can freeze butane solid with liquid nitrogen. Also, considering how long liquid nitrogen lasted in my cheap vacuum insulated coffee mug, I’m willing to bet a brick of butane would also last quite a while. Now you have me debating if trying to get a brick of butane through airport security just to see if I can is worth the risk of being put on the do not fly list.

what if you have dry ice.
