A Las Vegas TSA agent confiscated a traveler's cupcake due to its "gel-like" frosting, which the agent theorized was a security risk. Rebecca Hains said that despite heading through the Logan International Airport with two cupcakes in tow without incident, a Las Vegas agent had other ideas.
WCVB-TV asked TSA spokesperson James Fotenos about the cupcake-confiscating incident, who simply replied, "In general, cakes and pies are allowed in carry-on luggage." What would you do if your cupcake was confiscated at the airport?
