From the griddle to your middle

Soooo....
There's a rumor going around that the TSA's scanner can be blocked by a pancake... which you would presumably place over whatever it is you are wanting to hide.

What I want to know is... who thought this up and how did they discover it?

Maybe they were inspired by Dan Lacey, Painter of Pancakes. That's his website and it's worth searching through his links and galleries because this is some of the craziest crap you can find anywhere. He spares no one.
