I've made it through security for years with 10 dozen frozen tamales, all wrapped in tinfoil, in my carryon on my flights at Christmastime. I was worried the first time I did this, but apparently, others had done it that year too, so when I went through security, all they said was "Your family must like those things."

I guess this year, I'll have to check them, & risk TSA getting hungry & eating my family's Christmas Eve dinner.
