I flew to DC on 9/11 and came back to KC the next day. Homeland Security national threat advisory was at orange, or high. And guess what I got through security at two airports?
A screwdriver. I had a full-size screwdriver in my carry-on luggage, and I didn’t even know it was there. Neither airport caught it. It’s great to know our airport security is taking such good care of us.
Yet I got pulled out for…talcum powder. Yes, it’s a bitch to get out of the carpet, but I really think a screwdriver could accomplish a lot more than a someone blowing a handful of talc.
They’re letting you get through with a damn shank & yet they take my toothpaste because it’s .5oz larger than the ‘max’. This is crap.
It is because she wore that librarian shirt….. Welcome back!
I always travel with one of those cheap plastic corkscrews in my shaving kit because, well, you never know when you’ll need it. Anyway the metal part could do some serious damage but it’s never been confiscated.
Well they let you through because if they had confronted you, you might have stabbed them.
I think women with tools are hot.
I feel saver.
Maybe they thought you needed it to join the Mile High Club….wait a moment for it….because you could use it to screw something….?!@#? okay, bad I know but all I could think of on a moments notice.
All I know is, if they didn’t confiscate nail clippers, so terrorist might give someone a wicked hangnail…
