Confiscated cupcake 'security risk'
A woman says an airport security officer in Las Vegas confiscated her
frosted cupcake because he thought the icing could be a security risk.

Rebecca Hains, of Peabody, Massachusetts, said the Transportation
Security Administration agent took her cupcake, telling her the
frosting was "gel-like" enough to violate TSA policies.

The TSA has restrictions on taking liquids and gels on to flights to
prevent them from being used as explosives.

Ms Hains says she had passed through security at Boston's Logan
International Airport with two cupcakes packed in jars. But she said
she was stopped on Wednesday on her return from Las Vegas with one of
them.

TSA spokesman Nico Melendez said the agency was reviewing the
situation. He said passengers were allowed to take cakes and cupcakes
through checkpoints.
