I was in Houston visiting my daughter. She served a Green's Babka, which I LOVE and used to bring back to LA from Zabar's in NY. So we went to her local market, I bought two and put them in my suitcase. When flying home, my carry-on and I went through Security--and got pulled aside. The guard slightly apologetically explained he'd have to check my suitcase. 'You have food items in it, don't you?' he asked. 'Yes,' I said, a bit baffled, 'coffee cakes'. 'They're very dense,' he commented. 'Indeed they are!' I replied. He pulled my two cinnamon babkas out of the suitcase. 'We couldn't see through them on the Xray', he explained. 'That's why they're so good,' I replied laughing, 'and I have to tell you, this is going right onto my Facebook page!' He swabbed them for explosives (yes, I'm serious) then again apologetically explained they'd have to go through the Xray machine again but added 'maybe we can get them warm and toasty for you!'
So hooray for Green's Babka, the only babka too dense to make it through airport security!
