Donât worry about spending $5 on an iced coffee or a bottle of water when you get past security at the airport. Thereâs a trick that allows you to bring your own drinks, bypassing the TSAâs annoying 3.4-ounce maximum . Just freeze it, says The Points Guy .
According to the TSA , you can, in fact, freeze liquids to get them past the security checkpoint. Hereâs what the agency says:
The problem, of course, is that once you go through security, you have a frozen-solid bottle of water or iced coffee or whatever. If you just let it melt, youâre going to have a very drippy bottle on your hands. If there's a microwave or other thawing method in your terminal, you could use that, but the technique might be more useful for a liquid that isn't waterâsomething more delicious than the airport could offer you. The freezing move might also be useful if your flight is particularly long. If your beauty products have enough water in them to freeze, you could also be taking huge bottles of facial toner through security, presumably.
