Oh, I thought these were TSA complaint cupcakes. Like, you’d send one to the TSA each time you flew.

Except now the TSA will arrest you for having a fake boarding pass

That’s why we need to start trying to board with cupcakes full of laxatives. That’ll learn ‘em to steal other kids’ lunches.

If cupcakes are outlawed only outlaws will have cupcakes.

They’re still going to take it and eat it.

The 3oz rule (actually 100ml or 3.4 oz, but the TSA is lazy about labeling) applies to a container’s labeled size, not actual content size. So, if your bottle is 5 oz but marked 3 oz, you’re good to go. If you don’t have a container, then they can’t measure how much you have and I think they still wouldn’t let it pass. This container size also explains why I can’t bring a nearly-empty 10 oz bottle of saline, and instead must buy a smaller bottle (unless I go under the medical exemption)

Those signs look like they’re held on by toothpicks. You could kill someone with one of those!
