Have yourself a yummy little Christmas...

As Examination Period comes to a close, the tunnel vision you might be experiencing may broaden ever so slightly to allow you to see twinkling holiday lights out of the corner of your eye. Your thoughts might momentarily wander to your holiday travel plans, reuniting with loved ones, and special holiday dinners with friends and family. Thoughts of TSA screenings might not make an appearance in your holiday fantasies so to help you out, the TSA has compiled a sample list of holiday items that should be checked, shipped or left at home. Among the items are cranberry sauce, jams, jellies, salad dressing and salsa.

Surprisingly (to some), you may bring pies and cakes on board with you but "they can be subject to additional screening." Hopefully the screening does not involve spoons or forks!
