I'd like to bring some raw Italian sausages with me when I fly from NYC to Seattle.
- Is it legal to pack sausages and/or ice in a carry-on?
- Will the sausages keep during the 6-hour flight?

"Will they keep" is mostly a matter of how well you pack them. With sufficient ice, of course they'll keep. And if you freeze the sausage first, it won't take nearly as much ice to keep them cold - they probably wouldn't even thaw all the way through if left out at room temperature for 6 hours.
