Donuts through security?
 

Just wanting to ask this question before I actually do it later on next month..

Are donuts usually allowed inside the secured zone? Especially the ones with jelly inside it?

I'm thinking of bringing two dozen donuts to some friends from Portland.. The famous Voodoo Donuts.. And it crossed my mind that some of the donuts have jellies in it. TSA is very strict about 'liquids' what would they say about my jelly donuts?

I'm asking these questions because I want to be sure.. So when I bring those donuts in, I won't have to hand it over to the TSA people so they can eat it instead of my friends.. Better be safe than sorry.. :D

Donuts? TSA?

snicker.

Bait for the BDO game?

Maybe throw one away from the direction of the checkpoint and pass-through as all the TSOs run for it?

Sorry.. couldn't resist...

I think that only works on real LEOs

Faux doughnuts for Faux officers?

We had a full and factory-sealed jar of almond butter confiscated on a trip in 2008, so while I don't know for sure how your donuts will be treated, there is certainly some doubt that they will be allowed on.

Well, this is the real deal... I dunno how they'll treat it so it is wise IMO to seek FT for the help :)

I won't want to give them (TSA) even a toothpaste, let alone two dozen donuts...

Only a few of their doughnuts are filled. Even if you get a "Voodoo Dozen" (their choice of 13), I'm sure you could ask that they not include any filled ones. Of course you can't go wrong with their Maple Bacon Bars:):):).

Well, that depends on what is the outcome from this discussion.. I can think of not having some jelly donuts.. Still, its going to be somewhat different.. Especially without the signature voodoo doll donuts and yeah.. Bacon Maple Bars! :p

If the TSA decides to make an issue of it, how will the OP prove that none of the donuts have jelly in them? Are we assuming that the scanner will determine which do and which don't?

Exactly. So, if the TSA decides to make an issue and only let the OP travel with the non-jelly donuts, how will they determine which those are? Just wondering.

As an aside, I got put in secondary due to a box of brownie mix in my luggage when traveling through JFK earlier this month. Maybe the TSA is just trying to help us eat healthy, although they did let me keep the box of mix.

What about putting the jelly donuts in a Kippie bag?

Are any of them covered in powdered sugar? That might be a problem, too...

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