Hmmm how can pumpkin pie not be a solid when...

1) you just ate a piece 10 minutes ago - you didn't drink it

2) Kip "Security is My Middle Name" Hawley publically declared that anything which keeps its form when put on a table is neither a liquid nor a gel

3) a simple xray test would determine if anything is being hidden in the pie

4) if the TSA screeners suspected the pie was actually an explosive chemical (well it probably is for those with lactose intolerance), why would they take it in the break room and stuff their faces with it?
