This news breaks on Christmas eve.
Cupcake IED
Well, not really. It was just a red velvet cupcake.
But perhaps the TSA bureaucratic midget thought the container looked like a primitive IED. Just stuff a birthday candle in the thing, add your legally purchased in-flight bottle of Scotch, light it up and toss it into the first class cabin. Torch!
My guess is the TSA agent was hungry. That cupcake was down the security hatch two minutes after the Christmas terrorist wannabe safely boarded the flight. I bet it was delicious too! Another sacrifice, on behalf of our nation.
If boarding a flight with a cupcake looks like terrorism in progress we should also ban my grandmother's banana pudding from airports. There are more than a few who would kill for this recipe which requires a double boiler and plenty of stirring.
We should ban all food service on flights. If a cupcake is dangerous, I hate to consider the danger which might be lurking within my fruit cup which is sweetly handed to me by the flight attendant.

Big Brother should completely ban alcohol.
Flaming distilled beverages
Hmmm. Maybe I should not have mentioned the aforementioned.
As for me, Christmas at home is the better choice. No removal of shoes, wands flourished across my bags for explosives, confiscation of my manicure scissors and heightened awareness looks from people wearing ugly blue gloves.
The Israeli's have a better system. They perform pre-flight ThreatCon on humans. They are not worried about flour, eggs and oil.
