And yes mikeef, they are worth the trip to Portland.. In a sense, it is a small san francisco as a melting pot city

What other problems with the donuts?

And people at the airports I have worked have never had a problem with jelly-filled do nuts, but I do understand your concern.

At least take a bite out of each of them before you go through the checkpoint.

I've never taken donuts through security, but I have taken cakes (with frosting). Frosting is about as liquid as toothpaste, and no one gave me any problems. One time, the flight attendants and pilot did offer to take the cake off my hands though.

Other problems include: sugar dusting as one poster suggests, secondary screening perhaps, or maybe just having to hand it over and not taking it with me..



:p



Thanks for the info.. Did you hand the cake to them? :D



In a sense, it is.. Certainly food wise, its pretty diverse IMO.. :)

Maybe the best thing to do is just to ask the TSOs when I have the chance.. Or if there are any FTers flying out of PDX in the near future, may I ask a small favor and ask them?

Actually the sugar thing is kind of funny, but I understand the confusion. Powder has go be over a certain amount, and has to be a certain color on the x-Ray for it to be tested. The powder won't be a problem ;)

BTW, for those of you who think taking a bite would actually stop a TSO from eating a donut that wasn't allowed through, think again! I mean, have you seen the average shape of a TSO??? No donut would be spared...

Those look good. Are they worth the trip to Portland?
