Flying out of IAD tomorrow morning. I want to stop on my way to the gate, and get a Cinnabon to eat while I'm waiting for my flight. Here's the problem. The Cinnabon store at IAD is outside the secure area.

Would I be allowed to bring my small container of sugary-goopy goodness through security, or would they make me toss it? What if it was in my carryon bag? What if it was within a 1 qt zip-top bag?

(and probably the real question, why couldn't they just put the Cinnabon inside the secure area?)
