Security Check

When visiting my aunt, We always bring a special treat. It's halva made from sesame, A Middle Eastern sweet. But very often it gets flagged 'Cause agents have no clue Exactly what this item is; Our bags do not go through. They took my husband's backpack And removed things, one by one, As if they thought they'd find a knife Of liquids or a gun. Instead, the female TA Reached inside and she did seize Our wrapped up treasure and she asked "What is this? Looks like cheese." My husband nodded, yes it is 'Cause if he did explain It's candy from the Middle East - What could we really gain? They placed it on the X-ray belt In their unsmiling mode To double-check this piece of "cheese" Would somehow not explode. At last they waved us on, but when We pack our next surprise, We'll pick a treat my aunt will love And agents recognize!
