One time I forgot a hiking knife in my backpack (pic for reference: http://i.imgur.com/WnmFm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/WnmFm.jpg - yes, you could probably screw someone up badly with it), and did the roundtrip with it without getting intercepted.
Saying that I distrust TSA is an understatement.

- gregsq 14y agoHow's this. Afghanistan field with issue hand blade in luggage. Four US airports later, pulled over. Phone calls, forgot it was there explanation. Says take it, standard issue, don't care. Waits till all clear. Whispers of spook as person leaves, thinking WT. Three scans and inspections missed it. Operational problem I'm guessing.
- jdmichal 14y agoYea... I willingly and purposefully gave up a Victorox knife to a TSA agent, giving her my address even, because she promised to mail it to me, as it had sentimental value to me. I carried it in my pocket every day, and just threw it in without thinking. Needless to say, never saw or heard of it again. (I at least imagine that some family member of hers is enjoying it as a consolation to myself.) I would have been better off just trying to sneak it through; worst case scenario would have had the same results.
