Small unopened can of baked beans? They won't let it through. Empty 100% of contents of small can in to same sized small tupperware container? Your beans are no longer a security threat. True.
Small unopened apple sauce pack? They won't let it through. Empty 100% of contents of small apple sauce pack in to same sized small tupperware container? Your apple sauce is no longer a security threat. Also true.
