Pies Are Dangerous -- But We'd Like To Feed Them To Our Soldiers

The Cleveland Plain-Dealer has an article which says:

"In the last two days, we have taken a dozen baked pies," he said.

Pie filling apparently is banned from carry-on luggage, too. But the pies didn't go to waste. They were taken to the airport's United Service Organizations lounge, where soldiers passing through can relax and eat.

Wow... where to begin?

First, if the pies are so dangerous, and might be a threat, why aren't they being destroyed in a secure facility?

Second, if you're going to feed them to anyone, why would it be the soldiers? I mean, after all, aren't they the ones you should be shielding from this extremely hazardous threat?

Personally, I think it looks a lot like the following, teeny-tiny minor little clause to the Constitution has been violated:

Amendment V - ... nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation ...

Seems to me that by confiscating them -- and then using them as a food product for other people (e.g., consumption by others, as opposed to simple destruction) -- the private property has been taken for public use, and everyone who had a pie taken in Cleveland airport is due a check for the fair market value of the pies.
