Michigan Airports Forbid You From Checking These 25 Items
Air travel in Michigan is a magical experience. You remove your shoes, sacrifice your dignity, and play the "Will I Get Randomly Selected?" for a patdown lottery. But before you even get to security, you've got to navigate the ultimate test of modern travel: What Can I Bring?

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has some, let's say, creative rules about what's allowed on a plane.
Odd Items You CAN and CAN'T Carry-On Flights in Michigan
You can carry on a live fish (yes, a real, flopping fish—as long as it's in water), but you can't carry on a Magic 8-Ball. That little plastic oracle of fate is a no-go in the cabin but can be safely checked in your luggage (all signs point to yes).
Gravy? It's fine in a checked bag, but bringing that turkey-topped liquid gold onto the plane as a carry-on must weigh less than 3.4oz/100 ml. I mention this because it's in their website's official TSA "What Can I Bring" section.
This means someone brought gravy onto an aircraft as a carry-on at some point, and a TSA agent, unaware of the policy, had to phone a supervisor and ask, "Can a passenger bring gravy on as a carry-on?" And you thought your job was strange.
