“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
Burns defended the decision, clarifying that this cupcake was in a jar, prompting a different reaction from the TSA agent.
“Unlike a thin layer of icing that resides on the top of most cupcakes, this cupcake had a thick layer of icing inside a jar.” he wrote, “The officer in this case used their discretion on whether or not to allow the newfangled modern take on a cupcake per 3-1-1 guidelines. They chose not to let it go.”

TSA can molest your children, grope Grannies, and ban cup cakes, but they will not profile or stop terrorist. I can’t believe that we have to pay for these perverts.
Abolish the TSA, restore freedom in America! Ron Paul for president 2012!
