>TSA defends banning cupcake from airplane
byCharlie Spiering Commentary Staff Writer
“I wanted to make it clear that this wasn’t your everyday, run-of-the-mill cupcake.” blogs TSA Blogger Bob Burns today, defending the TSA’s “Cupcate-Gate,” incident against critics.
According to the story that went viral during the Christmas holiday, a TSA agent confiscated the cupcake from Rebecca Hains, a teacher who planned to feed it to her son on the plane.
“The TSA at Logan Airport said the cupcakes looked delicious and told us to have a great trip. But in Las Vegas, they were dangerous. They shouldn’t be delicious in one part of the country and a security threat in the other.” Hains said at the time.
