Can you take outside food on planes?

I plan on packing snacks and all when we go if we decide to fly. It is still up in the air
We were going to drive but it may not save that much money, and will tack on two days!

I noticed on a couple of threads people pack water/soda into their check in luggage. Have many of you done this? I was thinking of doing it, with some bottles and put them in a lock'n'lock container so that if they spilled, they would be contained.
We would probably only need 12 since we are only going to 4 nights/5 days.

weight restrictions on checked luggage might be an issue

You wouldn't believe the food i've seen people take through security. Recently saw a guy put a half eaten sandwich through the X-Ray machine, pick it up on the other side, and keep eating. As others have said though, anything that's not a solid won't make it. So, no yogurt, mayo, peanut butter, etc.
