Wow, I'm impressed TSA caught it.

​

I swear, I flew back and forth through LVIA a dozen times with a pocket knife, not a word... finally they go "hey you can't have this!", I tell them I flew with it last week through here, ... and the TSA agent literally says to me "Its like drinking and driving, you'll get away with it sometimes, but eventually you'll get caught"...

​

let that sink in

A buddy of mine gifted me a taser to keep on me as I walked to my night classes in the city. It was a super safe part of town, so I just kinda tossed it in a random pocket in my backpack and forgot about it. I must have flown with that backpack half a dozen times before TSA found it, and that’s only because I’d lost my drivers license and they’d only let me fly with advanced screening.

Last I looked they miss like 90%+ positives in single-blind testing of TSA controls

Just a few months after 9/11 a friend went through LVIA with a pocket knife and pepper spray and they didn't say a word. He was smoker and they had already seen 1 lighter in his stuff and just assumed the other 2 lumps were the same.
