Be careful where you point that cupcake, lady!
Be careful where you point that cupcake, lady!
The federal Transportation Security Administration is defending its decision to confiscate a frosted cupcake from a Massachusetts woman flying from Las Vegas.
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.
Peabody (PEE'-buh-dee) resident 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. Hains has called that "terrible logic."
The TSA says travelers can take cakes, pies and cupcakes through security checkpoints but should expect they might get additional screening.

dont talk about cupcakes that way i get a little emotional!!!!! I love cupcakes and if you make fun of them thats just sad cupcakes r awesome
comment:well, that's really unnecessary. I feel bad for her. The flight security is getting out of hand. I know they are trying to keep people safe, and i respect them for that, but the whole cupcake thing is a little overboard.

Why cant you eat cupcake in a plane? That is not fair. I think you should be able to eat a cupcake in a plane!!! I love cupcakes!
well, that's really unnecessary. I feel bad for her. The flight security is getting out of hand. I know they are trying to keep people safe, and I honor them for that, but really? a cupcake?
