Man Tries to Board Plane With Knife in Mayo

But it wasn't a great hiding spot: the TSA considers mayonnaise a gel

(AP) – Score one for the TSA: Security screeners at New York's Kennedy Airport caught a man trying to smuggle a knife onto a flight ... by sticking it in a full tub of mayonnaise. A TSA rep says screeners stopped the man today as he arrived for a trip to Mexico City. The hiding spot was far from a brilliant one: Jars of mayonnaise are also banned from carry-on luggage in the US because the TSA considers mayo to be a liquid or gel. The TSA notes that the man still caught his flight, sans knife and condiment.

Redneck definition of mayonnaise: " Mayonnaise,  sure are a lot of ugly women here tonight!"

If the knife were such a danger, why was this passenger permitted to board? Much to do about nothing.

We can all agree that something called "MIRACLE WHIP" should not be allowed on a plane,right??
