TSA Arrests Cupcake, Releases Woman Under Her Own Recognizance…

Well, all I can say is thank GOODNESS the TSA is on the job!  Had an ever-watchful TSA agent not been paying attention, it is very likely that a woman from Massachusetts would have managed to smuggle a frosting-covered cupcake onto a plane as she went to her destination.

Fortunately, for all who were on the plane, nothing out of the ordinary occurred with respect to the cupcake, because it was safely confiscated by the TSA. Whew! Another near-disaster averted!

The poor woman boarded a plane in Boston as flew toward the left coast with the cupcake in question.  The first TSA agent saw the cupcakes and apparently did not consider them to be a threat either to that particular plane filled with holiday travelers or to our nation, simply commenting on how delicious the cupcakes looked allowing the woman – Rebecca Hains – to continue on her way with said cupcake.

The trouble all started in Las Vegas when she was stopped by another TSA individual who promptly told her that because of the frosting – which constituted a “gel-like substance,” [1] and the fact that the cupcake was packaged in the appropriate container (one that mimicked the shape of the cupcake to protect the frosting), he would have to confiscate the cupcake.  Since the cupcake had now been identified as a security threat, the woman was not even allowed to touch it any longer.

I’m sorry but this is asinine. I realize that in the United States of America and under the current administration, no one is allowed to even suggest that profiling potential terrorists is a good idea.  The very thought is not only counter-productive to our nation’s war on non-Islamic individuals, but is absolutely and unequivocally not politically correct.  It is clear that our nation is far more concerned with political correctness than in stopping actual terrorists.

Ms. Hains had already eaten one of the cupcakes and did not suffer an intestinal explosion from the possibility that the gel-like substance atop the cupcake might have been of an explosive nature.  In fact, the article in question mentions nothing about being uncomfortable at all from eating the cupcake.  One can then assume that the other cupcake – the one confiscated in Nevada – was of the same type and quality and would also not have created any type of explosion – diarrhea or actual.

It’s likely that the particular TSA individual in question wanted the cupcake, had the authority to deem it a questionable (at best) item, and took it from Ms. Hains before she could utter the words, “Betty Crocker.”

It would have been interesting to see what exactly happened to said cupcake after the TSA individual in question took it and left the scene.  Did he/she place it in a hermetically sealed, explosive-proof container so that it could be tested and observed by professional bomb squad law enforcement individuals, or did the individual put the cupcake through the personal test of eating it to determine whether or not it was actually nothing more than a cupcake?

The article in question gives us no clue.  I’m thinking that this overzealous TSA individual understands that if he/she decides to strip search someone, he/she has the right to do so.  We know that, like dealing with the IRS, dealing with the TSA means that you are innocent until proven guilty.

With respect to this particular TSA person and the cupcake, to him/her it was a terrorist act waiting to happen, with Ms. Hains carrying the dreaded cupcake of potentially disastrous proportions, which had it been left to her and exploded in mid-air with a plane filled with other holiday travelers, God only knows what the collateral damage could have been.

This reminds me of the young woman who tried to go through security at the airport only to find TSA individuals seriously concerned about the buckle on her purse.  It was about 2 to 3 inches in length, flat on one side, but in the shape of a revolver.  Clever.  Very clever! Of course, the TSA folks needed to look at it from every angle, asking the woman who owned the purse what it was – was it a gun? Was she trying to kill someone on the plane, then fly it into the ground or into a certain white large home in DC? Huh? Was that the plan then?!

In the end, she was given the choice of checking the purse in the luggage compartment or leaving it. She chose the former and smart thinking too, because had she resisted, it would have been curtains for her! That is, they would have taken her behind curtains and given her a major strip search.  That would show her.  Obviously, the TSA does not take kindly to terrorists and even though they have never stopped one from getting on a plane, this has not stopped them from acting like complete morons when it comes to trying to keep the flying public safe.

In truth, the TSA has lost complete sight of the forest because of all the trees. One can only hope that once Janet Napolitano is gone, things will change for the better.  Until then, we have to listen to her jive talk about how safe the borders are between the U.S. and Mexico.  We also have to listen to the good-natured gobbledygook that goes on between her and Mike Huckabee every time she’s on his show!

Wake up TSA! Start PROFILING to catch the REAL terrorists and leave women and children ALONE. Thanks. I really appreciate it.

Oh, and Merry Christmas!
