Believe it or not, you are allowed to bring in a factory-sealed bottle of water. That’s right—hydration is legal. Just don’t open it before the gate, or they will treat you like you’re smuggling nitroglycerin. You can also bring an empty, reusable plastic bottle (metal is banned, sorry, water-guzzlers).
What about snacks? You can bring a small bag of food in a clear baggy—think of it as the prison commissary chic style. But do not bring a whole pizza. I repeat: no whole pizzas. I saw a man try. He had a pepperoni pie in a cardboard box, and he looked me dead in the eye and said, “It’s for my son.” The son left hungry.

The Forbidden Items (A Comedy of Errors)
You cannot bring: umbrellas (unless it rains, then everyone suddenly has one?), selfie sticks, laser pointers, or any bag that makes you look like you’re going camping for a month. If it has a strap longer than an arm’s length, it’s probably a “bag” and therefore banned.
Surprising fact: you can bring a camera with a lens shorter than 6 inches. But if you show up with a camera that looks like a howitzer, security will ask you to stash it. One guy brought a GoPro on a stick last year. The stick was confiscated. The GoPro cried.
