What did you use to carry your school lunch in?

I'm a sophomore and am going to convert to cold lunch.. Woo! I am looking for a metal lunch box because I love the old kind of feel for them. I think they're so cute. I'm not a big fan of the insulated bags.. Bento boxes are cool though.

Also, what are some good lunch ideas that won't perish in a lunch bag/box?

Answer
Paper bags, usually. Actually, almost ANYTHING doesn't perish in a lunch IF you freeze it first (don't freeze lettuce into a sandwich) or put it in some sort of vacuum bottle.

Can I carry a can of Ensure past TSA?

I am diabetic, and recently started to take injection medicine that must be kept cold. I have an insulated lunch bag that I keep it in, along with Frozen Gel Packs. I also tell the X-Ray screener what it is, and no problem.

My question is, that I would like to carry a can of Ensure, which is a "meal replacement" when you don't have time to eat, but don't want your blood sugar to drop dangerously. Since it's technically not medicine, I want to know if I can keep a can of it in my lunch bag with my medicine?

IMPORTANT: I would like to hear from OTHERS who have done this, and what the results were. In all due respect, I am not interested in hearing from those who are SPECULATING, unless you are a TSA or Airport Employee.

Answer
I have not tried the Ensure (although that is a good idea) but I have gotten juice boxes through TSA with minimal problems.

Being a type 1, I will not travel without something with me for low sugars, especially now that most airlines do not serve food on domestic flights...at least they don't serve more than a snack and a bag of peanuts doesn't cut it.

TSA questioned me as to why I had juice boxes and graham crackers. I explained I was a diabetic and that it was needed in case I had an insulin reaction. I showed my Medic Alert card and I was allowed through. The juice and crackers was in a small lunch bag that fit into my backpack.

I also had an empty water bottle. The bottle sailed through inspection and I just filled it up at a water fountain near my gate. Easy.

Have a medical alert ID and if possible, a note from your doctor. Diabetics have the right to keep any necessary supplies with them at all times. Assert that right.
