Does anyone know if I can bring my own food on board? I am a diabetic and just graze for most of the day to keep my sugars level. I am not too fond of airport food. And besides, it can be expensive buying food there.

You save yourself a lot of hassle when you fly if you get yourself TSA Prechecked. It's only $80 and it's good for 5 years. You skip all that nonsense with taking off shoes, opening your laptop, showing your bag full of lotions, etc.
The process is simple. Fill out an application online, then go to a TSA spot and get fingerprinted. In just a couple days you have your clearance number. You still have to show ID and put carry-ons through the scanner, but you get to skip the real aggravating stuff - and you get to go in the shorter line.
If you only make 1 round trip per year, it comes to just $8 per flight for the convenience. If you travel more, the cost per flight drops to almost nothing.
BTW Charlie, I know that skateboards are banned on Delta as carry-on, and I think several of the other carriers. It's up to the individual airline, not a TSA issue.
Depends. If it's liquid, like salad dressing or condiments, it will need to go in your 1 quart ziplock. You can bring stuff like carrot sticks and sandwiches from home. There are several good websites with suggestions as to what to take for food. Here's an idea: https://consumerist.com/2016/06/27/...foods-you-can-bring-through-airport-security/ I always bring an empty water bottle and fill it up at the water fountain after clearing security as I don't feel like paying $5 for a bottle of water.
And I too love the TSA precheck, though our closest little airport doesn't always honor it. When they do, it's a breeze getting through. We also have Global Entry, so can blow through the huge lines going through immigration.
Addie...just curious. When was the last time you flew the wild blue yonder?
Exactly! It should be a requirement that before reporting to work, that they read the latest rules update of the Home Security. There is absolutely no consistent interpretation of the daily rules of what can and what can't be brought on board.

Toilet bowl cleaner bottle caps.
I completely understand the reason for making the cap childproof. But why do they have to make it impossible for someone with slightly arthritic hands to open it???
I am disliking my neighbors today. Everyday between 6.55 and 7. 20 an alarm goes of to wake the next door nutter, it take that long before it shuts off. Mine goes off at 7.00, I wake at 6.55 from his alarm, even on Saturdays. And my "posh, I am so much better then you neighbor" started vacuuming sludge out of their house at 7.30 , it still going on 1½ hour later.
Why couldn't they wait to normal hours which be waiting 1 more hour?
They never think of other people, they even removed the trees that protected us from their nightly naughtiness. Yes , we can see in to their bedroom, all 5 apartments can, it not like we can avoid using half of our apartments due to them.
This humming noise making me cranky.
A very arthritic friend has been giving the bottle to her grandson to open for her since he was about old enough to have strong enough hands!Toilet bowl cleaner bottle caps.
