As I reported in another thread here - but bears repeating - I went through security at ORD on Thursday night. They confiscated three bags of Gummie Bears that went through the X-ray from the family in front of me. They stated it was gel-like and wouldn't be allowed to go.
If I hadn't seen it myself I would never have believed it.
Thankfully, the family asked for a supervisor. The sup overruled the X-ray agents.
