When traveling to Europe, tourists should be cautious when buying local specialties, especially when it comes to Marzipan, a delicacy made from sugar paste and almonds. Due to its density being similar to certain explosives, placing Marzipan in checked luggage may trigger security personnel to conduct further inspections, potentially causing flight delays and inconvenience. Although the TSA website does not explicitly prohibit Marzipan, travelers are advised to remove food, powders, and items that may affect X-ray scans from their luggage to facilitate the security screening process.
