Btw, why not water?

It throws up a false positive in the old scanners. There are new ones available that don't have a problem but they aren't widely available yet.

So how about a bottle of dry ice?

Dear TSA,

The human body is mostly water. And it's way more than 3 oz.

Or just bring an empty bottle through and fill it up at the tap/water fountain?
