Can I bring home grown tomatoes onto an airplane?

Question

We live in Virginia and will be visiting our son in Georgia. His garden is already producing tomatoes. I want to bring a few home for his Grandpa. What are the rules of carrying something like this on the plane?

Answer 1

i know you cannot internationally bring anything into or out of the US that is not sealed. In the US however i am not sure i say take your chances. Tomatoes are expensive with the bad economy and salmonela scare!

Answer 2

Only restricted on flight from out of USA.
