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..

Maybe throw one away from the direction of the checkpoint and pass-through as all the TSOs run for it?
Sorry.. couldn't resist...

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.

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.
