Eco-Dent Toothpowder: Airplane-Safe Way to Brush Your Teeth

As everyone is undoubtedly aware by now, the US Transportation Safety Administration has banned liquids and gels from carry-on baggage on airplanes, making it tough on anyone without checked baggage to do everyday things like brushing their teeth. Eco-DenT has a solution for TreeHuggers everywhere: their toothpowder is an airplane-safe way to keep up dental hygiene without having to buy a new tube every time you step off a plane. Eco-DenT Toothpowder's travel pack contains 15 1-day packs of toothpowder; each pack is sufficient for two brushings. The convenient pouches fit easily into a pocket, purse, wallet, backpack, fanny pack, attaché case or other travel bag. Because it's "toothpaste" in powder form, it isn't restricted by the airlines, leaving you free to brush your teeth as you please without having to stash it in checked luggage and hope it makes it to the other side. Best of all, the toothpowders are 100% natural (baking soda is the main ingredient) and 100% cruelty-free. Eco-DenT says their products are available at most major natural product stores and online retailers; they also have an online store for your shopping convenience. ::Eco-DenT via ::PR Web

It seems to me that this stuff qualifies as a "mysterious white powder". That might not go over so well at the airport either.
Yeah..how long do you think it'll be before the TSA discovers that "HEY!! Explosives can be made from powder, too!!!".
Then we'll be back to where we started.
Baking soda maybe the main ingredient, but they still put SLS in their toothpowders. I don't see how that qualifies as 100% natural.
A far better powder tooth cleanser is ISP. It's just baking soda and salt.
