I visited another city and the natural food store did not have sea moss gel, only powder.. I realized that I liked being able to shake it on food. When I got to the airport. My bag was screened they tested the powder and determined that it was an explosive. I had the choice to either throw away the $34 powder or check the bag which would cost $no 35 or $40 so I chucked the Irish moss. They are so ridiculous!
