A seemingly nice woman named Rebecca Hains, says That her cupcake was confiscated by the TSA at the Las Vegas Airport.

Haines said she was going through the security checkpoint, and a TSA agent ‘pulled her aside and said the cupcake frosting was “gel-like” enough to constitute a security risk’.

TSA took her cupcake and probably ate it too.

TSA spokesperson James Fotenos responded in a statement on the matter saying, “In general, cakes and pies are allowed in carry-on luggage,” and TSA ‘is looking into why this cupcake was confiscated’.
