Heading down the end of April and bringing a cooler of frozen meat and other frozen items. The meat will be vaccum sealed. We will need it to remain frozen, cold for about 12 hours. What is the best method? Anything other than dry ice?

Thanks for the info. I'm sensing a trend with the responses. Guess it's time to purchase a polar bear.

I used the eclipse backpack (by Polar Bear) as carry-on last year to bring down 4 meals worth of frozen meats for 8 people. No room for extra ice! Pulled everything out of the freezer at 4 am and packed on the morning we left. Pulled everything out of the cooler at 6 am the request of TSA ... repacked.... Pulled everything out of cooler on board at CYOA at 2 pm. Everything still frozen solid.

Another vote for the Polar Bear 24. We didn't need any dry ice, and used it all week long for beer on the beach. There is a thread here somewhere that you will find a code to get half off the cooler. Money you save on expensive beers will pay for it easily.
I'd like to be a jelly fish, cause jelly fish don't pay rent.

I bought the 24 for Christmas last year and the 12 pack for Christmas this year. Both on a two for one deal so I got one free and gave one for a present. Sign up to get your own account and you will get emails like this one I recently received. Good thru 31March2018

What is the process for tsa to inspect the food?

They were 'kind' enough to make me un zip the cooler and they rummaged around briefly, They then swiped the handles for residue.
