Your Say
If anyone from TSA tries to confiscate food items from me, I definitely plan to stomp it into paste - they can throw it out if they want, but I'll be d*mned if I am going to feed them

If I remember correctly, during WWII the allies produced an edible high explosive flour composition called Aunt Jemima that could be safely baked into muffins, bread, or cookies and set off with an appropriate detonator.
The creeping TSA tyranny still sucks but their cupcake seizing ways might be resisted by making poop-frosted baked goods...To discourage pilfering for blue shirt snackey time.

I saw a frail old man in a wheelchair frisked at La Guardia (Delta terminal). They made him stand, and had him prop himslef up on the edge of a steel table.
