Can you travel with apples?

I'm sure the guy thought it was a bad pick-up line at first...."Can you travel with apples? I mean, will I get through airport security with them?" We were in the produce isle at the local grocery store, sorting through apples when I popped him the question. Fortunately, he didn't think I was a nut - no pun intended - "That's a good question, I don't know."

We pondered for a moment when I told him I would check with the airlines and we parted ways. When I was home, I looked on the TSA Web site and found the following list: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/holiday.shtm
"Not sure about what you can and can't bring through the checkpoint? Here's a list of liquid, aerosol and gel items that you should put in your checked bag, ship ahead, or leave at home.

Cranberry sauce
Cologne
Creamy dips and spreads
(cheeses, peanut butter, etc.)
Gift baskets with food items
(salsa, jams and salad dressings)
Gravy
Jams
Jellies
Lotions
Maple syrup
Oils and vinegars
Perfume
Salad dressing
Salsa
Sauces
Snowglobes
Soup
Wine, liquor and beer"
No apples! We are soon off to Boulder, so I'll let you know how we make out.

Don't forget to check the TSA for all types of helpful information.

Happy Travels.
