Can I bring an EMPTY sippy cup thru TSA?

[ringstrue]

Or will they confiscate it?

I plan on bringing a cheapo one either way just incase they decide its Taliban paraphernalia.

I think you can bring a full one through as long as you declare it and have a kid with you.

Empty should definitely not be an issue - I bring an empty water bottle every time I fly so I can fill it after security. Never had a problem.

I flew with an empty nalgene bottle on my last flight - I don't think a sippy will be a problem.

You can take a full one if your kid is with you, they will test it. We did this less than a month ago.

We've taken empty bottles/sippies through before.

I take an empty Sigg bottle, which is metal and probably looks like some kind of bomb on an X-ray. Never had an issue.

The one time I did that, my bag got searched. I've switched to the devil's plastics for flights. My goal is to get through security with as little interaction as possible.

The dumped ours when we flew out of Boston. TSA told us our child was too old for a sippy. He's JUST NOW getting off of sippys because of his oral motor skills.

DD is almost 3 but has longer hair and looks freakin old when her hair in fixed and she has cute clothes on.

It was surprisingly easy to take her through when she was 4 months old. I forgot about the baby food in the carry on and put ALL of her jars in there (not just the ones I wanted to take for the flight) but they didn't care cause they were new and sealed.

Wow. I can't believe they actually said that to you.
