I had a microwave burrito that I had put in the microwave and still was sealed in the wrapper before going to the airport ( it wasn’t that hot) and security was squeezing it and inspecting it like it was a nuclear bomb or something.
- OutOfHere 7mo agoYour point is not lost, but why would you heat things in the plastic or BPA or PFAS coated wrapper at home? It makes it pretty bad for health. At least remove it and heat it in a plate. You can rewrap it in a paper towel if you must. In fact I would even rinse it well first while frozen to remove the plastic residue without impacting the food.
- b3ing 7mo agoBecause I didn't want to pay $10 for it in the airport when Wal-Mart sold it for like 33-50 cents at the time.

- Helithumper 7mo agoI'm confused... > I brought a foil wrapped breakfast burrito through security > This was years before 9/11 Given that Airport security wasn't implemented until after (and because of) 9/11, how would you have passed through security with a burrito before 9/11?
- pseudalopex 7mo ago> Given that Airport security wasn't implemented until after (and because of) 9/11 You were confused because this belief was false.
- IAmBroom 7mo ago> Given that Airport security wasn't implemented until after (and because of) 9/11 Wildly false.
- fallinghawks 7mo agoAs others said, security definitely existed, typically in the form of metal detectors and x ray scans. Planes had been hijacked since the 70s and that's when it started. 9/11 just ramped up security to very high levels.
