| those squeezy bag things of applesauce, or is that considered liquid? |

I think they're probably considered liquid. Via the TSA blog:
Baby Formula, Breast Milk, Medicines & Juice: Medications, baby formula and food, breast milk, and juice are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding 3.4 ounces (100ml) and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint. Click here to learn more about 3-1-1. Snack Time!: Kids love their snacks. Food items that are in the form of a liquid or gel are generally not permitted however, items such as cakes, bread, donuts, ham sandwiches, etc. are all permitted. Here is a list of items that are prohibited at the checkpoint… Creamy dips and spreads (cheeses, peanut butter, jams and salad dressings, jams, jellies, maple syrup, and soups). http://blog.tsa.gov/2010/06/traveling-with-kids.html |
| That is, if you can get your applesauce into a 1-quart bag and it's under 3.4oz, it's probably fine. But if not, they might make you toss it at security... |
| I have traveled with a kid and these kinds of pouches many times and never had one questioned, let alone confiscated. Most recent was today out of DCA with a 4 yo. Also not questioned or rejected today: a tub of hummus. YMMV. |
| I've had the security guys scrutinize the squeeze pouches - at least some consider them liquids. One of the brands (Ellas?) makes a small version that is around 3oz - I always carried those and even the most skeptical agent let those through. |
I travel with those things routinely. Provided you can present a toddler and don't mind them occasionally opening them to examine them with chemical test thingy, it should be no problem (I also take juice and milk routinely, same deal).

| Have traveled with then several times in the past year. Sometimes half my carry On was filled with them because we had over a day of travel ahead. Had no problems at any point |
