How do you not get the PB&J through airport security? You can bring any food. The ban on liquids is because liquid explosives can’t be frozen. So anyone bringing most okay liquids (e.g. soup) can just freeze it but people trying to bring something very flammable (e.g. ethanol) wouldn’t be able to.

My buddy had a jar of peanut butter confiscated because it was a "cream"
Should have gotten chunky /s

More seriously, though, your friend would have needed to either freeze the peanut butter or put it on a sandwich in a serving of less than 3.4 ounces.
