I flew through BWI airport a few weeks ago, and saw signs posted in the security line indicating they're piloting the new full-body imagers.
I wasn't thrilled, to say the least.
I was far less thrilled when I reached into my backpack at the end of a very long series of flights and realized my swiss army knife had made it through security, in the mesh side pocket of my carry-on backpack the whole time.
How 'bout the TSA focus on mastering the basics (like, um, finding knives when they go through the x-ray conveyor belt) before they add new tech with questionable benefit and high potential for abuse?
- wheels 16y agoI keep a Swiss Army knife on my key chain. I fly fairly often, and sometimes I forget to put it in my checked bag. Post-9/11 I've forgotten 4 times. I've only had them catch it once.
