Did you know that the TSA considers jam to be a “gel or liquid”? Me either. I hope that the security guards at the Indianapolis International Airport are enjoying their raspberry jam.

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that your jam was confiscated! I learned that one the hard way as well.
Does this mean that if it is less than 3 oz you can take in in your carry on?
Oh I know. And for the same reason you do. Stupid Seattle airport took away the jam I’d bought as a present for my mother.
I guess next time you’ll have to use more pectin.
That is the craziest b.s. I’ve ever heard. Good to know. Man, I would have been teed off!!
On my way home from Minnesota last fall I checked my suitcase which contained 2 lovely jams made by my friend Erika. I almost had a heart attack when I heard my name being called over the PA and when I proceeded to the security counter as directed I was informed that there were ‘suspicious’ items in my bag and they needed me to unlock it. You guessed it- the suspicious items were the jams but fortunately all they did was test the outside for traces of what I can only assume was explosives. My jams made it home safely to Toronto and I was awfully glad I checked them!
