Honey is a liquid
At the risk of thread drift and pedantry.....
It ain't necessarily so.
Liquid honey contains about 17% of water, but tends to crystallise into a solid.
So it can be either.
But given the intellectual capability of the searchers, they may not realise this.
Like the one at LGW the other month who tried to tell me that my stick deoderant was not allowed airside, as it was a liquid.
I don't waste time or energy arguing with morons like that anymore, just ask for the supervisor and then go on my way shortly afterwards (with stick.)
