I want to fly home and carry foil wrapped fruitcakesWill the TSA allow this?
Yes they will allow it, but it will show up on X-ray and a big black lumpIt is highly likely that they will want to check it outThis could mean a baggage search, which is never funThe best idea is to wrap the cakes in plastic wrap or a baggieIf you are concerned about freshness, try multiple layersThe cake in plastic will only show up as a gray blur and it will lessen your chances of your bag being searched.
