TSA agents reportedly confiscated a traveler’s cupcake as she passed through security at Las Vegas-McCarran International Airport last Wednesday. The security officers determined that the frosting might have been an explosive gel. Could someone really make a cupcake bomb?

The TSA confiscated a cupcake. Can you really make a bomb from frosting? - Slate Magazine

File this under “completely irrelevant questions.” Anyone with the will could make a bomb out of pretty much anything. The real question is, did these agents have any reasonable suspicion that the traveler intended to cause harm to others? I can’t believe that ten years later we’re still putting up with this ridiculous security theater.
