Hey! I think that I see your knife, check it out at the 25 second mark. Maybe you can buy it back?

Yeah!


At a different airport they got a Snap-On t-handle ball hex wrench - it was longer than seven inches they claimed. My less than seven inch t-handle helicoil tang remover was acceptable. Those things are just as lethal, and maybe more. Oh well.

They may have actually prevented some nut jobs from trying anything stupid.

I've seen some fairly lethal instruments made out of 6" plastic toothbrushes and combs.  Heck, give me a few minutes with a disposable razor, a toothbrush, and a heat source and I can make weapons every bit as dangerous as the box cutters that the terrorists used on 9/11.

I carry a Spyderco in my pocket all the time when home but I also travel a lot on business. So a couple of times I have forgotten about the knife but always catch it before entering security. Once in Denver I had parked in a remote lot and absolutely did not have time to put the knife back in the car so I hid it in a big plant in the terminal. I went on my 3 day trip, came back and sure enough the knife was still there. Another time in Albuquerque I gave the knife to a janitor in the terminal. He seemed happy to have. Rather he got it than TSA.
