Explosive Airheads

Did you know if you put Airheads candy in your carry-on baggage, every time it goes through a scanner the airport security will think you have explosives in your bag? Neither did we...until today. Yes, it's true my friends, and I'm posting this to save you the trouble. Some friends came to see us today, and before they came they asked if there was anything the kids wanted. The kids said they wanted Airheads, the taffy-like candy. So this sweet friend of ours bought a Cosco-sized box of Airheads candy, and he put it in his carry on. Evidently, Airheads looks a LOT like the putty that is used for explosive material. This sweet man was taken by security in two separate airports over the Airheads candy! He eventually got here safely, and so did the Airheads! Our friend's advice to other travelers is to put Airheads in your check-in baggage. Who would've thunk it?
