Yes, most solid foods can fly with you, while liquid or spreadable foods in carry-on bags must stay within the 3.4-ounce limit.

Yes, a House office can press for a status check on a delayed passport case, but it cannot order approval or guarantee faster delivery. If your trip is getting close and your passport still has not arrived, asking your congressman for help can make sense. A congressional office cannot wave a wand and force the

Yes, many jets cruise above 29,000 feet, so they can pass higher than Everest’s 29,032-foot summit. At first glance, this sounds like a trick question. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth, so it feels like any plane flying above it must be doing something rare. In practice, that is not the case. A
