This just in from the FAA-- (made ABC News this am)

Do not pack food or beverages in checked baggage.
Due to their organic contents, foods like cheese, chocolate,
or fruitcake can be mistaken by bomb detection machines for explosives.

There you have it---  fruitcakes can show up as bombs.

But then so are books--

Do not stack books, spread them out.
Bomb detectors can't scan books that are clumped together.
