BOSTON -- A Peabody woman says a cupcake she tried to take on a flight with her sparked a potential security threat this week.
Rebecca Hains says she was going through security at the airport in Las Vegas when a TSA agent pulled her aside and said the cupcake frosting was “gel-like” enough to constitute a security risk.
She said she was able to pass through Logan International Airport security with two cupcakes, but she was stopped on the way back when she tried to return with one of them.
Hains said she had received the cupcakes as a gift and after eating one on the trip out west, decided to save the other for the flight back.
“Apparently we're a tasty, terrorist threat. I guess we were also amazed at what can pass through security in one airport, but not in another,” said Brian Vilagie of Wicked Good Cupcakes.

The TSA agent was prolly just hungry and wanted the cupcake for himself!

Well the TSA is now going to expand to include trains and subways (TSA screenings aren't just for airports anymore).
I'd like to see how they handle morning commuters with their coffee and bear claws - it will NOT be a pretty sight.

cappucino to wash that puff paste scimitar off your tunic with, Sparky? Just kidding, I KNOW
you guys and I both rely on coffee, for God's sake it's PLASMA. But really, where's "NO" at
in our vocabulary this year?
