TSA confiscates cupcake

[krose]

A Massachusetts woman who flew home from Las Vegas this week says an airport security officer took her frosted cupcake because he thought its vanilla-bourbon icing could be a “security risk.”

See post #5 for link to original thread. "This week" was before Christmas. -DrPizza
And, not sure if this was pointed out in the original post - but she was flying *back home* - seriously? That means she took the cupcake with her when she left for vacation, and still had the cupcake when she went back home. Was she hoping to get stopped or something?

Can't work the things the TSA do there would lead to bankrupting just about any company from lawsuits.

That's depressing no matter what the context is.

TSA Officer : What's in the bag?
Lady : Roast Beef Sandwich
TSA Officer : Yum... I mean... I'm going to have to confiscate that.

TSA defends confiscation of Mass. woman's cupcake

The TSA says in a blog comment posted Monday the cupcake was packed in a jar filled with icing, which is considered a gel under a policy designed to secure travelers from terrorists seeking to evade detection by using explosives made of plastics, liquids or gels.

Rebecca Hains was barred from taking her cupcake onto a plane last month when a TSA agent said icing in the jar exceeded amounts of gels allowed in carry-on luggage.

So what would happen if I devoured the cupcake in front of them and gave them no chance to confiscate it? Would I be a flight risk and handcuffed? Can't imagine the headlines "Passenger eats cupcake, detained by TSA" :awe:
