According to a spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration, an end to the ban on liquids and gels aboard airplanes is nowhere in sight. The airline security regulation began more than a month ago – and could last through the busy holiday travel season. In addition, several US lawmakers recently stated that they support continuing the ban. This means that airline passengers will continue to search for “dry” alternatives to pack in their carry-on luggage.

Among the offerings is a product called the pre-pasted toothbrush. This toothbrush has toothpaste powder bonded directly to the bristles. The tooth powder is activated when you wet it with water or your own saliva. Because the toothbrush contains only dry powdered toothpaste, it fully complies with the new airline regulations and restrictions and will not be confiscated by security officials.
