The TSA does not require nicotine pouches to be in a clear bag, packed in a certain way or removed from your carry-on bag for additional screening.

The TSA will only ask you to remove any liquids or electronics larger than a cell phone and place them in a separate bin for additional screening.

Keep in mind that even if an item is generally allowed, the final decision whether it will be allowed or not is up to the TSA officer inspecting your bags at the airport.
