Throw away your snack food if TSA want them.
If TSA want to confiscate my snack food, I would open the snack package or box, and dump the content in the TSA garbage container.
A few years ago, I had a bottle of red wine in my carry-on due to my own neglegence, when I was asked by TSA, I opened the bottle and poured the wine into their garbage can. No problem.

TSA is going to have to start making the checkpoints operate like supermarket checkout lanes. Will probably be easier to travel with shopping bags rather than zippered carry-on luggage.
Perhaps they should consider self-checkout lanes for the "elite" travelers - for an extra fee, of course

Generating more assaults
Something I've noticed recently, the last month or so, on @TSA is that passengers are complaining about having LGAs that they have traveled with for multiple trips suddenly confiscated. These confiscations are triggering gropes.
Two or three have mentioned regulation size containers being confiscated allegedly because TSA could not "test" them, whatever that means.
Yesterday, another person complained of TSA taking the food he'd just purchased to take with him on the flight. From his description, there were no LGAs involved.
One mom complained that they wanted to take her diabetic child's juices or ETD them and grope her as well.
Something is definitely going on at TSA checkpoints.

@TSA confiscated all food for my 1yr old as I was carrying her before a 5-hour flight. "Not on my watch" poster on wall behind him...Wondering what that could possibly do to mitigate the next 5 hours for my family or those sitting near me on this plane, guys.
Reason they took it: "for safety"

I haven't noticed anything different about the TSA treatment of food during the last week, although I didn't have anything that anyone could argue was a liquid or gel.

I've gotten secondary screening for 10-20 factory sealed plastic jars of crunchy cat treats in my carry-on in the past (The Squeaker's preferred brand is cheap at Trader Joe's so I stock up when I'm in a town with one convenient) But I've always been allowed to just repack them once it became relatively clear what they were.
