Pie in the sky

I already knew my baking was hazardous. I'm good at burning crusts, mangling fillings and setting off smoke detectors.

But I never thought of it as a threat. At least not in the national security sense.

By the time the Transportation Security Administration agent picked me out of the day-before-Thanksgiving crowd at Portland International Airport, my pie was already rolling down the conveyor belt and into the X-ray machine, along with my sneakers, belt and laptop.
