TSA opens your peanut butter to inspect it. They seem to be a little put off that there is oil at the top of the jar.
Would you: A. Stay silent while they do their thing? B. Get anxious because you want to get out of there and start rambing about how annoying it is that the oil rises to the top? C. Tell them to take the PB so you can be on your way? D. Make a joke to your companion that they are trying to "confiscate your explosives?"
A, then B, and then probably C, says the girl who argued and nearly bitched out a TSA agent when he made her throw away her brand new, still in the plastic, $8 lip gloss.
And now he wants $5 million? Give me an f-ing break.
The other thing I was actually going to say is that I learned a few years ago to not try to take any food of substance through. We had a jar of salsa once, and the examination that jar got.... we were like "keep it" and went on our way. From then on, I only bring what I need for DS (food issues) and that's it.
He should have just checked it. I bring back food like this all the time in checked luggage and there is no issue. I'd think peanut butter might be considered a "liquid" anyway, most spreads are.
Wow, I would just be quiet or give it up so I can catch my plane.
The guys sounds like an ass, we all want to make those kind of jokes but we don't. Just be a sheep, get herded for 10 minutes go through security and get on your plane. Save your jokes for other times. Now he wants 5 million he's really milking this.
Common sense tells me that D is NEVER the way to go.
And I used to read this great blog about what people tried to sneak onto flights and got caught with (the blog was run by a TSA agent... it was awesome). And the #1 hiding place for drugs was in a jar of peanut butter. They'd seal the drugs up in some sort of container and then slip it in the middle of the peanut butter. So... yeah, this guy was a winner in TWO ways.

Yes, back in the olden days, PB was known as the best way to avoid the dogs.
