If we can just prevent the receiving hackerspace from ever opening the package, our cupcake would occupy a superposition of all possible cupcake states. We can decorate it with a little icing cat face.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

The handwarmers thing could totally work, right? We don't need it to stay hot for hours, just 350 - 400 for like 30 minutes! If we do a good enough job with the insulation, the UPS guy shouldn't even know anything happened. Worst case, if DHS confiscates out cupcake...I'd laugh my ass off. The terrorcake strikes again!!!!!<br>
<br>I think the kicker would be activating the handwarmers at the right time, and only the right time. I think the handwarmers activate upon touching air, right? I wonder if we could open a bunch of them in a glovebox and put them into an inert box with the ready to bake cupcake. The inert box would have a little door on it that could open when an Arduino uses some craaazy GPS wizardry thingy to determine when the UPS guy is almost at the destination. <br>
<br>What do people think? Is this reasonable? We don't do anything air sensitive enough in my lab to warrant a glovebox though. Anyone have access to something like that?<br><font color="#888888"><br>Sean</font><div>

Is this a cupcake or a bomb? Our cupcake "package" is going to get<br>
confiscated by Homeland Security and never arrive at its destination.<br>
The unabomber of cupcakes.<br>
