My son's girlfriend is flying back from Portland. They wouldn't let her bring the Royale, aka truffle cake, onto the plane. It's considered a "gel" and potentially an explosive.  Her mom found it quite scrumptious. I hope she lives. |

Cake bombs have killed thousands. So have cookie bullets.

By today's exchange rate 40.00 HKD is 5.16 USD. Over $5 each, pricey pastry.

I flew just this week, and walked right through everything. No issues at all. And they stopped her with those?

It's more expensive because it's more better.
You can go next door the the Fifth Quadrant and pay more than that for two pints of beer.

I can understand why they were worried. Anyone remember the movie "Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe" and the bombe cake? A great movie that has never come out on video.
So how many of those things did the girlfriend have to eat before boarding the plane?

I like chocolate as much as the next guy but if I'm paying $7 per piece there better be a wet spot in my pants afterwards.  |

TSA was right to be concerned.
Those things have destroyed people's diets and caused waistlines to explode numerous times.
