What I don't understand is what they do with things like this when they confiscate them. Do they have a bomb squad safely dispose of it? Do they have a crime lab analyze its safety? Or, do they simply put this potentially explosive cupcake in the trash? Or eat it? This should be all the evidence you need to understand that the TSA exists solely to take away your freedoms. They're not protecting you.

The First Four Black Sabbath Albums: Or eat it?

That. Fatass TSA guy had a cupcake jones so "Uh...I am gonna have to go ahead and confiscate that" is his best move.

Traveler should have spit on it a couple of times and then surrendered it just to see the disappointment in fatass TSA guy's face that he doesn't get to steal food for himself.

Yeah? What if the guy had a raspberry, what then?

TSA is nothing but a jobs program.

Why didn't he just eat the cupcake. Could probably down in it in one big mouthful. Or would that get him an automatic strip search?

What the hell is a cupcake in a jar?

Will TSA save us from the dreaded raspberry fiend? And what if he has a 16 ton weight?

It's nice to see the TSA taking a stand against America's expanding waistline. I just didn't think they would be the government agency to take the lead.

thank God for [REDACTED]!

What would the TSA do to cupcake dog?

Who is running the TSA? Lex Luthor?

WTF is the Las Vegas International Airport? You mean McCarran?

My wife made about 15-20 business trips over the summer. She was also on an expensive diet program where you ate their vacuum packed microwave meals. She did all these trips without an issue until the last one where the TSA agent (who also happened to know what the food was) told her that it was "too liquidy" and would have to take it, after my wife got upset and explained that she wouldn't have any food to eat she agent let her keep half of it. WTF?!?!?!?! Either it's too dangerous to have or not. I just think the agent forgot her lunch that day.

Considering they take all the fluids in containers and toss them together in a barrel pretty much sums that up.

/if they really thought there could be an explosive mix would they really do that?

The writer sounds like as big a douche as the TSA agent. A cupcake in a farking jar?

Did someone say cupcake depravity ?

namatad: colon_pow: thank God for [REDACTED]!

so important to HIDE the names of the criminals
we might be able to stop them otherwise.

/have you shunned a TSA employee today? why the fark not?? you would shun Nazi prison guards but you still talk to your brother who works for the TSA? why??

Right now you're at 11, and I need you to be closer to, say, 6. Can you do that for me?

Bad idea. Then Agent [REDACTED] would have charged him with terrorism for attempting to use biological weapons of mass destruction. Thereby justifying Agent [REDACTED]'s actions. Your only option is to simply comply citizen.

What if you refuse? It isn't like the government has the power to hold you in jail without trail for your whole life!

Cupcakes. I believe this was covered in American Pie (probably NSFW)

well! cupcake in a jar???!!

i have shiatloads of mason jars. guess what my next baking project is going to be!

thanks fark!

Two words: Checked Baggage.

I was working Vegas as a TSA supervisor
I met with fair Rebecca and her treats that she was hauling.
I first said it was "gell like", and then produced my rapier.
Said stand and deliver, for it "conforms to its container",

musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's cupcakes in the jar

They aren't all bad. I flew out of Vegas with an entire box of pastries from Bellagio. They got a quick hungry look and waved through.


Cupcakes don't belong in jars. Free the cupcakes!

Them cupcakes full of massive diarrhea causing ingredients are perfect for the TSA security guards to confiscate.

/Theft Confiscation: means you can't be prosecuted if they are stupid enough to eat them.

I'm curious: If people are opposed to TSA, what are they proposing to replace it? The system that allowed four planes to get hijacked at the same time in four different places? Because I'm not sure that system worked too well.

Now I'm just imagining the terrorist plot that somebody could exploit with that:

Abdul Q. Terrorist: Muahahaha! It may look like a mere water bottle, but it's actually extremely potent liquid high explosive, with deadly anthrax dissolved in it, and a tiny detonator & timer in the cap! In three hours this bottle will explode, killing myself and the people around me and infecting any survivors with anthrax! Yes, my Jihad will be glorious!

Abdul goes to the airport. . .

TSA Agent B. Fife: We don't allow bottles of water past here, that's not allowed! Throw it in the bin!

Abdul Q. Terrorist: . . .(thinks a moment). . .okay.

A couple of hours later, the garbage can explodes and countless unknowing people are infected with biowarfare agents. . .all while the perpetrator is flying out of the country and thanks to no matching of who forfeited which items, figuring out he even did it will be very difficult and time consuming.

That or Agent Fife could try to drink the bottle, find it noxious, and spit it out, infecting himself with anthrax and probably spreading it around.

It's all security theater.

Please, the farking TSA doesn't do shiat for preventing similar things from happening. They do provide interesting new targets, specifically those massively backed up security checkpoints full of delayed passengers having cupcakes and liquids stolen from them.

What prevents similar things from happening are proper actions by the requisite investigative agencies and, now, the passengers on the planes.

Some things that have been done post-9/11 are good. Having locking doors between the cockpit and passenger cabin and keeping it locked during flight. Extra training for flight crew. Random undercover air marshals. Change in the public mindset (be aware, report, don't just be passive if someone is disruptive/violent on a plane). Being more aware of people flying one-way, without luggage, international chatter, etc.

Hiring people who aren't cops or border patrol agents without any level of real training on security or civil rights? Bad idea. Forcing people to expose themselves to radiation in order to fly? Bad idea. Being over-the-top reactive to isolated incidents like shoes and liquids? Bad idea. Scaring little children with pat downs and separation from parents in the scary tube? Bad idea.

The problem is the container, not the foodstuff.

Oh, thank God for the TSA! I'm diabetic and I sure don't want any crazed terrorist cupcake smuggler bringing that on any plane I'm on! I might go insane and attack her for the cupcake! That definitely could have started a major riot on the plane!

:P

Can you say two reagent highly reactive exothermic reaction?

\I should take some labeled commercial perchlorate samples with me in my carry on
\\I'll even have the MSDS sheets attached
