Apparently, they don't cotton to a large bag of brown sugar in you carry-on either! That set off all kinds of detectors..funny thing is, though, they didn't find it until the return trip?

I just found out the other day they will not allow you to go through security with wrapped gifts either. Wouldn't you think the X-ray machine would point out anything suspicious?

OK, now you have to explain why you travel with a large bag of brown sugar. Is it a good luck charm or a security blanket?

Blame it on the wife...she's an elementary school teacher, and the day before we left she had made apple cider in her class...welp, she decides she's gonna do some of her upcoming lesson plans and such on the plane, so she used her school bag as her carry-on...and sure enough, we toted a pound or so of brown sugar to Vegas and back! At the Vegas airport on the way home that bag set off all kinds of sensors/alarms, and got the full swab treatment...
