Question: Are you allowed to bring a live lobster through TSA security?
Answer: Yes, you can bring a live lobster through TSA security—but it has to be properly packed. According to the Transportation Security Administration, a live lobster is allowed in carry-on baggage if it’s in a clear, spill-proof, plastic container. Though unusual, this type of screening is not uncommon at coastal airports, particularly during peak travel seasons when seafood transport increases.
