are the following things allowable under TSA rules?

I will be traveling overseas in a few days. Domestic flight is w/ Delta airlines and international flight is w/ Emirates. I'll be in transit for 2 nights so I worry a little.

I understand TSA doesn't allow certain things but does anyone know if the following are acceptable?

-toothpaste powder (not a paste or gel)
-solid deodarant
-non-liquid makeup (powder, eye crayons, and lipgloss)
-snacks like granola bars and crackers

Rose-unless it is a cream or a gel, at the present time, and what looks like the foreseeable future, that is fine.

Deodorant I would say pack in checked package-as that is a type of creme.

All electronics are allowed on flights leaving the US-and on any other flights NOT leaving the UK.

Hmm. I just looked at your list again-lip gloss-good question! That is somewhat of a gel-like consistency, though-and since I have much of this and am flying out myself very soon, I need to find this out-my guess is, it will need to go in checked baggage-I have some Chanel lip gloss, so don't want to risk the chance that it might go in the trash bins!

Remember also, that to a certain extent, these types of matters are a matter of discretion for the TSA screening folks at a particular checkpoint. You may well get variances in responses here-as to some items-depending on the checkpoint.

Rose-after looking at the newly posted TSA Q and A's, which you can find here:

tsa-7.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/tsa.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php

I would say that lip gloss and LIQUID eyeliner (per the TSA example) will need to be put in checked baggage.
