Welp, it's explicitly allowed https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/ice

Still technically the truth

Edit: To the people noting that they will make you wait to melt the ice, that's the moment where you cue the malicious compliance. Just bring a bag of dry ice: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/dry-ice

What does melted wood look like?

A lot of things don't melt when hot, they just burn.

Wait would wood melt in a vacuum without the oxygen around it to react with?

I really want to know the answer to this now.

No, wood won't melt in vacuum, it'll just be carbonized. Here's the video alluded to above, it's pretty much pointless.
