Rebecca from Massachusetts tells WCVB-TV that a TSA agent in Las Vegas seized her frosted cupcakes. This agent thought the icing on these cupcakes could be explosive.

Rebecca mentions that she used frosting and it was “gel-like” and this was enough for a security risk. 

On her flight to Vegas, Hains breezed through security at Boston’s Logan International Airport with two cupcakes purchased from Wicked Good Cupcakes of Cohasset. She only had a problem on the return trip, when she tried to bring one of them back.

TSA spokesperson James Fotenos tells WCVB: “In general, cakes and pies are allowed in carry-on luggage.” Fotenos adds that the TSA is looking into why this cupcake was confiscated.
