OP, no pumpkin. It can be turned into pumpkin pie, which seems to pop up as a confiscated item every so often.

Um, I didn't see it as hysterical. String can be pretty tough, more so wrapped around something many times. But if I see it again, I'll try my best to honor your request!

(and not all watermelons are huge, some are relatively small!)
And I have to be honest - I have often joked with passengers that I have to "confiscate" their pies when I see them during the holidays. Never have done it (I know it has happened), but the reactions of the passengers is sort of funny. No complaints yet.
