Does the TSA consider holiday pie a dangerous liquid?

By at 7:23 pm Friday, Nov 24

Snip from Consumerist:
Inside, a man asks whether the no liquid rules apply to his pie... Not much fuss at the security pageant. We packed our liquids in our checked luggage, seeing no need to perform toilet mid-flight. A man waiting in line asked if it was okay to bring his pie on board. "That aint't a liquid," said the TSA employee. "Oh, good," said the man. We refrained from asking aloud whether cherry pie filling was considered a gel. "Unless it's sweet potato," she said. "It is," he said. "Then I'm gonna have to confiscate it!" said the TSA employee, to general laughter.
