TSA Confiscates Cupcakes

Claimed frosting violated restrictions.

Talk about Grinchy. Rebecca Hains claims that a TSA agent at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas confiscated her cupcake on Wednesday. Haims said the frosting was enough to violate TSA restrictions. A TSA spokesman said that passengers are allowed to take cakes and cupcakes through security and they are investigating the incident. Hains said, "It's not really about the cupcake; I can get another cupcake. It's about an encroachment on civil liberties. We're just building up a resistance and tolerance to all these things they're doing in the name of security, when it's really theater. It is not keeping us safe.”
