Thought. What about pouring chocolate into the vessel to coat the inner walls, fill it with the apple butter, then coat with thick layer (half to one inch, preferably one) of chocolate on top?
Then it looks like solid block of chocolate but has an apple filling. With sufficiently thick layer, some chocolate can be scraped off the top.
I like this deception. Would it show a gooey center in the type of x-ray scanners they have at airports?
Oh, and btw, this is similar to how Lewis and Clark kept their gunpowder dry on their trek. They had lead canisters filled with the powder and sealed with corks and sealing wax. When the canister was empty, it could be melted into bullets.
I say similar, because the entire vessel is consumable and useful.
that is a touch confusing, perhaps you didnât mean to use creamy twice?
Depends. If the chocolate and the apple goo have the same volumetric density, it should look similar enough; the xray absorption on a sensor pixel is roughly proportional to the total mass in grams encountered in the cone between the anode spot and the pixel area.
With neutron imagers it will be more difficult. They will show the density of light nuclei, which the water may push up in the given volume.
A way to camouflage the eventual density mismatch could be to make the layer bottom matching the lid edge. Then the difference edge will look like an artefact from the lid. If you can control the position of the object relative to the xray beam, you can also minimize the visibility of such edges. Check how the imager works, the positioning signature reduction methods will then be obvious.
you had me at apple goo 
Being a solid and not a liquid as the TSA claimed, she wasnât trying to circumvent securityâŚshe was trying to circumvent stupidity. 
And if THAT isnât the opening lines from her lawyerâŚshe needs a new one! 
I think you are insufficiently familiar with the work of government advisers.
A quick look at the Middle East will show that lying to the government is pretty much SOP. The important thing is that the lies are what the group in power currently want to hear. Therefore, the usual approach is to find out what the government wants to do, and produce arguments supporting it.
[incidentally this is not simply snark. I may have mentioned this before, but when it was suggested at U that I apply for the administrative civil service, this is exactly how my supervisor described its function.]
My stepson is diabetic, so he goes through security with a bunch of stuff. The airlineâs website told me to declare it at security. The first time, the guy just shrugged and didnât even ask to see. The second time, we were pulled aside so a different agent could inspect and swab everything - and we had to throw out an ice pack that had melted, because it was now a liquid.
Solution: Freeze your food item solid before boarding.
Apple butter is not a solid. It is basically concentrated apple sauce.
If youâre going to charge lying, though, you need some evidence.

Once in Toronto (long story short, BEFORE your plane takes off at Pearson for the US, you go through customs - the plane takes off with you already having officially been granted permission to enter the US) i was dealing with an issue with these glorified mall cop motherhumpers when next to me there was a lady being harassed by another one of these a-holes. He was giving her crap because she had brought a little tupperware container with fruit to eat on the plane and in the eyes of petty power tripping rent-a-cop, she was importing fruit into the US.
Everytime i deal with these motherfuckers (iâve had my visa and have been entering the US since i was months old, precisely to avoid their kafkian shit and not having to be sent to one of their appointments at a consulate where you will be treated like cattle, inspected through two-way mirrors, and not even told if you just paid to get a negative outcome) thereâs the same types: fat donut eating mustachioed man, sassy fat mamma, rookie mclovin, âroid raginâ larry the cable guy, bureaucrat with a badge, etc.
Fuck that noise. Iâve lived in the US at several points in my life, love the country but i am not setting foot there again if i can avoid it. I even try and fly without US connections (which admittedly is really hard since a lot of hubs are in the US), to avoid this moronic shit.

Seriously? Twelve years ago?
Wow⌠Months-old you was quite prescient, to get that visa so young. 
I wasnât, but my parents were. Because USian stupidity when it comes to this is not new at all. For the first 25 or so years of my life it was the same visa that kept getting renewed.

Returning from Houston I used to routinely bring my wife Mexican food from her favourite restaurant. I got good enough at it that I was able to deliver the food still warm.
Returning from Denver I carried a twelve pack of Fat Tire in bottles under my arm. Fresh from the assembly line. Security did insist on running it through X-ray. And harassing me that I needed to leave a few for when their shift ended.
I have no doubt that for the duration of my lifetime neither of those will happen again.
I highly approve of this and see nothing wrong with it!
