I have already replaced my deodorant with a solid alum-based product, and my toothpaste with a fluoridated, minty powder.
The thing that has me confused is the use of the term "gel." Soap is not a liquid, but it's not a solid either and the best way to describe it would be as a "gel" (although I'm not a chemist). So if that's allowed, then wouldn't a typical solid underarm deodorant be allowed? Answer: not in the airports in Arizona and California I've been through the last week or so.
There's a great phrase on the TSA page saying "please don't overthink these rules."
I understand the frustration of the person writing that, but if they don't give us useful rules, then what's the point? To me, it's a HUGE difference if I have to check luggage, and I want to know what it is that I can take.
