Not sure how the consistency will do though, am going to have to do some experimenting at home for lunches first.
I’m surprised to hear applesauce pouches are allowed. Small Yogurt containers aren’t. Flying has become such a hassle. I long for the good old days when you didn’t have to get to the airport 2-3 hrs early and go thru all the intense security, take off shoes, coat, take out liquids etc...... had knee replacement have to go thru scanner every time. Sometimes get pat down, sheesh. Do they think I’m going to pull a bomb out from my knee?I also bring shelf-stable foods because the timelines raise food safety issues and trying to keep things "cool enough" is a challenge. Due to multiple food allergies there is little to nothing I can safely eat at airports or on airplanes [and I do not eat on airplanes unless medically necessary as a risk mitigation measure -- not eating on a plane means less chance of accidentally ingesting an allergen at 35,000 feet].
Snack bars, Wowbutter single serve cups*, two-packs of saltine crackers, Gogo Squeez apple sauce pouches* etc all travel relatively well and will tide one over for quite a while. *both subject to the 3-1-1 rule, unfortunately.
I am consisdering experimenting and making the equivalent of a wowbutter uncrustable sandwich -- freeze it overnight before the trip... I figure it should last pretty safely without refrigeration and will start out frozen so will actually be cool for a while anyway. Best part is it won't be subject to the 3-1-1 rule like the cups are

. I almosst don't mind the time as much, it is the having to unpack and repack and having everything gone through yet again that is a pain...
You wouldn't, but that doesn't mean people don't try to hide things on their person... https://www.deseretnews.com/article...un-strapped-to-prosthetic-leg-police-say.html http://abc13.com/news/creative-cocaine-criminals-busted-at-airport/1923239/
I highly recommend TSA Pre-check, whether it alone, or through the Global Entry or Nexus programs. Makes going through security *much* easier and generally quicker.
I travel with medical liquids that exceed the 3-1-1 rule, which means additional searches and swabbing when going through security even when going through the TSA Precheck line. I budget 30 minutes from putting my stuff on the belt to when I will get out of security. Sometimes it is shorter. Sometimes longer. But it is never quick. We aim to arrive at the airport 2-3 hours before our flight so we have plenty of time to get through everything.
Even more fun is when travelling to the US via a Canadian airport connection, because we clear security at home, then have to clear US Customs and security again at the connecting airport. Needless to say, I make sure we have nice multi-hour connections

Yikes. So scary. Reminds me of the Ft Lauderdale airport shooter. Doesn’t matter if they have to travel with gun in checked luggage. The guy got his suitcase off the carousel and went into men’s room to get gun out and load it. One time when flying Westjet connecting to Delta in Pearson, my checked bags decided they wanted to stay in Canada It took both airlines the better part of an hour to track down where the bags had wandered off to, then they send someone to retrieve them and get them rerouted onto the US side. Fortunately I had a four hour connection .... Anyhow, normally it is a seamless process that works pretty well and is much easier than the old manual process. We've been quite pleased with it. And many airports Canada Customs clearance areas have Nexus kiosks. Plus Nexus lines for security.
