But not with pie!

I'm going to Hawaii. Tomorrow. Yes, Christmas Day. Yay! However, according to TSA, I will have to be careful about what I bring with me. From the TSA website:

• Snow globes contain liquid and regardless of size are not permitted through the checkpoint.
• Many holiday foods like cake and pie have characteristics similar to liquids, gels and aerosols. These items are permitted but may require further inspection.

Can you imagine the conversation the top brass at homeland security had when coming up with this policy?

head honcho: Alright, team, we are going to have to beef up security for the upcoming Christm-
Anonymous person: *achem*
hh: ...upcoming holiday season. Let's brainstorm: What do people take home for Christ- um... the holidays?
pawn 1: Presents!
hh: Yes, we shall outlaw traveling with presents. What else?
knowledgeable assistant: Um, sir? Don't you think we would incite rebellion if we outlawed presents?
hh: Hmm... You may be right there, Junior. What can we outlaw instead...?
*silence*
pawn 2: um...snowglobes, sir...?
hh: Ah YES! Snowglobes!! Snowglobes and pie!
assistant: most wise, sir, as we all know, pie has characteristics similar to liquids, gels and aerosols.
*everyone nods in solemn agreement*

I wonder if "further inspection" of your traveling holiday cakes and pies includes hungry TSA agents tasting with wild abandon and bitter spite rooted in their terrible holiday work schedule.
