Taking food through security.
Appreciate normal size soda drinks and liquid/gel type foods cannot be taken
through airport security, but can you take food items such as home made
sandwiches through TSA searches?
Cannot find anything on the TSA web site either way.

You can. There is nothing stopping you from bringing items you prepared at
home, as long as they aren't gels or liquids. I frequently buy a Subway
sandwich on the way to the airport, and carry it through security to eat on
the flight.
If you want to bring anything that resembles a gel or liquid, it must be in
containers of 3oz or less, and be put into the single quart-sized plastic
bag you are allowed to bring for toiletries or medicines. Gel-like things
might be yoghurt, peanut butter, or packages of mustard, ketchup, and so
on. If they are already on a sandwich, that wouldn't be a problem.

Why? It's quite a sensible strategy, given the parlous state of domestic
airline food offerings these days.

One look on the London Underground will tell you that those who eat
food whilst travelling, tend to leave their half-eaten food and old
wrappings scattered all over the place including on the seats.

The London Underground, for all its charm, does not have stewardesses
come around towards the end of the trip with rubbish receptacles.
Airlines do.

Indeed but I don't like the idea of putting up with old sandwich
wrappings, breadcrumbs, tomato slices, bits of egg, tune flakes and
mayo dropped about me by a fellow passenger for 13 hours on a long
haul flight.
What next?
...a fellow passenger decides to bring a take-away curry on board.
Would that be ok for you?

Clearly you travel with a worse class of passenger than I do.
I've never seen anyone create such a mess, except for infants and their
careless mothers.
Banning infants is of course outside the scope of this discussion,
although it would have my full support.
> What next?

>

Of course. I've done it myself (on domestic travel). I created no mess.
All of the residue remained inside the paper bag in which I took it on
board.
What's the difference between eating a take-away curry and a curry
that's served on board?

I doubt it. Many people are messy by nature and in the overtight
confines of airline seats crammed in by other passengers, you have the
makings of a mess. If you doubt me, go check the floor of the cabin
30mins after the sheep have been fed and stuff cleared away.

True, this group are particularly messy.

At least they need to coral kids and their selfish mothers into one
section of the plane to keep the noise away from decent passengers.

You may be a rare model passenger but still you haven't considered the
smell of curry on board which some people might find unpleasant.

So your point is that airlines should not serve curries?
What else should they not serve?

No, but not many flights I've been on serve curry. In any case they
can't use much curry in the food so the smell doesn't permeate and
as others are also eating they probably don't notice the smell.
Take away curries are something different - check the smell as you
walk into any curry restaurant.

Almost every flight on which I travel serves curry.
Have a look at http://tinyurl.com/245dwc for example.

You really shouldn't just make something up when you're trying to argue
from a base of no known fact.

I can't. I don't go to restaurants that serve takeaway food.

Guilty as charged. Curried chicken salad, mango chutney tort,
I'd have to think hard to figure out all the times I've brought on
curry.
Then there is the times we've brought on various cheeses. We
also had various wraps, chicken wings, salami slices, carrots,
a few spreads. We're usually the envy of many of our neighbors
(we share).

Again, what's the difference between the curry I bring, and that
served on board? And really, considering some of the dreck served
on board, I can't imagine it'd be any worse.

That's disgusting and very selfish towards other passengers.
