It's come to this.
An ingenious business plan has developed out of the turbulent saga the TSA has christened Cupcakegate. It all began last month when security agents confiscated a “cupcake in a jar” at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, citing its gel-like icing as a potential national security threat.
The incident inspired Kelly Colgan, owner of Silver Spoon Bakery in Providence, R.I., to create a travel-friendly treat: the TSA Compliant Cupcake. The $4 confection is topped with exactly 3 ounces of frosting and sold in a TSA-mandated clear, quart-size plastic blag. The decorative photo of Richard Nixon with the parodied words “I am not a gel” comes optional.
.....$4.00 is a bit pricey for a cupcake but didn't the Department of Justice pay $16.00 for muffins?

ReplyDeleteWhat's also needed is certificates of authenticity for other objects that the TSA regularly finds to be suspicious: medical & prosthetic devices-- it's bad enough that people must resort to using such devices in order to improve the quality of their lives, without having TSA goons literally rip the things from their bodies, which in some cases is dangerous not only to the person affected, but the TSA goons themselves (ostomy bags full of urine etc).
