Exceptions Only

Bag Policy
Allowed

Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12" x 6" x 12" or non-clear bags that do not exceed 4.5" x 6.5" are permitted.

The Spaghetti Policy

Under the 'Marinara Clause,' noodles are clearly 'food' and permitted, but since sauce is technically a liquid, it constitutes a prohibited 'beverage' unless you've got a lawyer who can argue it's a condiment-paste. Therefore, provided your pasta is in a clear bag under 12x6x12, it's a GO, but you must enter dry and sauce-less, or face the inevitable tragedy of a noodle-less existence.

Unofficial, untangled, and legally meaningless. Trust the real rules above.
