TSA Takes My Bottled Water But NOT My TWO Knives!

In what the Twitterverse would call a ‘whale fail’ for TSA, they
managed to take my bottled water but fail to notice my two pocket
knives.

How did I do it? Did I keep them in my pocket? Did I sneak them into
the sole of my sock? Or did I slip them in between two electronic
devices? Nope!! I tossed them right out into the open in my mix of
coins, cash, and jewelry.

My question? What else is sliding through TSA security? I know it’s
not my bottle of water. They barked at me well before I even got to
the screening machine about that! Which reminds me, I’m thirsty! Maybe
I’ll go snag another bottle of water. I guess if I don’t have enough
cash I could hold the cashier at knifepoint for it (severe sarcasm
with a hint of bewilderment).

Maybe TSA is monitoring my blog, Twitter feed, or Facebook and they’ll
come get me at Gate 10 at Midway airport. Now wouldn’t that be
interesting? Whale fail at the gate but sniff me out online.

*continues to shake head* Sigh!

    Maybe they should go back and review this list of prohibited items… http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm
