TSA Agent Confiscates Lady's Cupcake: Frosting Security Risk

Share This Story

"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."

This is a humorous incident, but there's nothing funny how how the timid American public allows TSA goons to grope and prod them in the name of fighting terrorism. When we have to practically submit to a strip-search for the right to fly, the terrorists have won.

I wouldn't be surprised if a hungry TSA agent went home that day with a "gel-like substance" on his lips. You can't make this stuff up, it's like a Keystone Kops comedy.

Has there ever been a case of a terrorist wearing a cupcake suicide belt, who attacked a hotel or a nightclub. Cupcakes might pose a health risk if you eat too many of them, but only an idiot would consider them a security risk.

Haines contacted the cupcake company, Wicked Good Cupcakes, and sensing an excellent publicity opportunity, they are sending her a batch of free cupcakes.

Hey, I love Wicked Good Cupcakes also!
