And, it's quite an art to be able to do a wind up that has people thinking, "surely he/she is not serious?".

OP, if you ask nicely, the captain will let you run an industrial gauge power line straight from one of the engines, round the underside of the wing and through a secret hole from the gear well and into the cabin. That should solve all your needs, as long as I can park my pet elephant on your buddy seat as well - I promise he does not make any noise, so will be no inconvenience to you. 
The "I am a gold member and not afraid to exercise this" comment almost made me shower my laptop in coffee... If "not afraid of doing this", I am afraid his/her best outcome will be marched off in handcuffs...!

Okay, I'll bite - If the actual requirement is to eat warm hotdogs on board, could the OP not simply bring an appropriately sized empty thermos through security?
This could then be filled with boiling water (And hotdogs, depending on if cooking time is an issue) by either any restaurant in terminal or potentially lounge attendant, or indeed perhaps on board the aircraft by the crew?
In goes the hotdogs to the hot water, screw the top on, 30 minutes later you have warm hotdogs, no? You'd be limited by thermal mass and the number of hotdogs you wanted to eat if filled in the terminal but, assuming that the crew are willing to refill you would essentially have no limit.
This removes the requirement to cook anything or have any warmer/warming device, and I am pretty sure you're allowed to ask for boiling water on an airplane.

Taking a cm off the allowed cabin baggage ( for internal dimension) gives you 58080cm3. You could fit 7398 AA batteries in this, and that would give you about 28kwh. Of course you'd need a DC to AC converter, and the weight of your bag might be a bit of a problem, but I'm sure that would work

I'll air this in hope of alerting in good honour...I certainly wouldn't want to sound alarmist or from a doomsday book but I fear we could easily be providing innocent ideas to an online public forum that bad actors could take advantage of.

Nothing that would not be picked up by the normal security procedures. Having 7,398 AA batteries in your carry-on is going to need a really good explanation.
