Freeze dried jellyfish thru security?
There were just so many of the beautiful critters on the beach than I had to have one as a memory. I'm concerned that it might inadvertently get wet and rehydrate. I'd hate to be accused of bringing a gel or a stinging weapon onto a plane. Since I'm only doing carry on, what should I do?

You do realize that the nematacysts can stay active through drying for months, and sometimes years, and all it takes is some water to transform your souvenier into a weapon, right?
