Can pie fly?
The TSA website says "yes" but pies are subject to additional inspection.

Wondering WHAT that means???

I have no idea, but it's funny to think about nonetheless. I guess they would do an invasive check of your "pie hole"?

Yes, but it will have to place its filling in multiple 3 oz containers inside a quart ziplock bag. Crust can pass through normal security, assuming it has the appropriate id, boarding pass and is not on the "no fly" list.

to correct this in case anybody does a search, cakes and pies ARE allowed through the security checkpoint. sorry for the mis-information.
