BOSTON -- A Peabody woman says a cupcake she tried to take on a flight with her sparked a potential security threat this week. Rebecca Hains says she was going through security at the airport in Las Vegas when a TSA agent pulled her aside and said the cupcake frosting was gel-like enough to constitute a security risk.
She said she was able to pass through Logan International Airport security with two cupcakes, but she was stopped on the way back when she tried to return with one of them.

“Where oh where does TSA get all these bloomin IDIOTS they hire??? Is that part of the job description???”
They hire from the “Failed McDonalds” employee list.
What?
Fruitcake.
Blech.
Merry Christmas rabs!
I was at the home of my liberal in-laws today. While I browsed their newspaper, I saw this story.
I’d seen it before (on FR of course) and then showed it to my M-in-Law.
I said earlier this year a woman’s insulin and needles were confiscated by the TSA.
She didn’t believe me.
Anywho,,,I survived the few hours today quite well and politics was avoided.
I am waiting to use the airlines for a trip to AZ, until after we get decent leadership from a new administration.
I also need to travel with the things needed to control blood sugar. Until we get a pro-American and anti-terrorist president, I am driving not flying.
Cheers, and here’s to a better year in 2012!
