The TSA was not messing around when Emily Mei tried to pass through airport security with more than a dozen bags of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in her carry-on bag.
After all, the Cheetos slogan is “dangerously cheesy.”
The 25-year-old was pulled aside at Los Angeles International Airpot so a gloved TSA agent could methodically examine each package of Cheetos.
“Will never forget the day TSA stopped me cuz they thought i was hiding shit inside my bag cuz all i had was like 20 bags of Hot Cheetos,” Emily Mei tweeted, posting a video of a TSA agent checking for chemicals with a swab test on each bag.

Mei followed up her tweet with an explanation for bringing so many Cheetos onto a plane.
“For everyone who’s asking why i had so many bags of Hot Cheetos, apparently it’s hard to get in korea so my friends always ask me to bring it for them LOL.”
After finding nothing sinister about the bags of Cheetos, Mei was allowed to board her flight with her bags of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
