You should be able to. Security will be the main problem, but I would just send it through the x-ray machine like you do everything else. Actually taking it on the plane is no problem, as I always grab something from one of the restaurants inside the secure areas to take aboard.

not those type of boxes... like those square styrofoam boxes that have a spot for two items and some rice beside it... no metal!

I don't see why it'd be a problem.

last time I was on a flight, we all brought bottles of juice (well, half juice / half vodka :p)

Just toss it throught he metal detecter with everything else. If they say no, toss it, and get one in the terminal, most have at least 1 chineese resturant somewhere.

Yes. Again, just put it on the conveyor belt to go through the x-ray machine.

Yes, it should be fine. If you buy anything inside the security checkpoints you are good to go to take it onto the plane. Essentially.

I don't know, you may be able to take over a plane with a spork; some of them are pretty sharp. Kelvrick may already be planning this. I may have to call the FAA.

sure you can, but you may piss off the passengers seated next to you from the smell.

Dont be the asshole that smells up the plane with chinese food. Just eat at the airport or before you leave.

beware of drool.

the last time i was on a plane, my husband and i sat next to this fat guy who decided he was going to sleep the entire flight. while that's nice and all, he smelled so awful and snored louder than the plane's engine. i should have brought him some chinese food.

naw, not only do the airlines not feed you anymore, they've made it a felony to bring your own food.
