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.

I brought a foil wrapped breakfast burrito through security with not the slightest idea that it might look like an IED. This was years before 9/11 so they just made me open my backpack and assure them it was food.

I'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?

Your 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.

Because 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.
