I have done it done it at various times with apples, oranges and bananas. I don't see why most other fruits cannot go past security. After all, the x-ray machine will tell them if you are trying to hide something illegal inside the pomegranate - which I am sure that you will not be doing :-). There are frequently restrictions on importing any plant material into a country, but if you eat all of it before landing, then I do not see any problem. If there is something that you have not consumed, then you could either give it to one of the cabin crew as they come around for the last trash collection before landing, or toss it into a trash bin before customs/immigration.

American food is different than food from other parts of the world. It is much more fattening and chemical laced. If you had lived in Taiwan your whole you would actually be thinner. I have a friend from Korea who came to the US as a foreign exchange student for a year. She told me that since she's been here she has gained weight. She didn't eat more than she did in Korea, it was the food. Well that hasn’t happened to me but it sure isn’t surprising. American food is different than food from other parts of the world.

I would have thought you'd be able to buy a pack from a cafe once you're airside waiting to board your plane. No, you won’t be able to take any fruit through security in your hand baggage.
