Laughed so hard, I almost peed myself!

For someone who flies constantly, I can't tell you how much those a-holes at security piss me off.

I had a 'knifeless' key chain multitool confiscated and a spyderco endura and leatherman juice 'stolen' from my checked bag.
 
Ouch.....in that last auction of FOL's, there's an orange Leatherman Juice. I gave my mom one just like that, engraved, and she accidentally left it in her carryon last year on the way to NYC. :eek: Luckily, it was early in the morning (before the security was too pissed off, I think) and they let her go up to the airport PO and mail it back to herself. :whew: So sometimes you do have an option...I'm glad she did because that's kind of a special knife.

You know, the airline industry blames 9/11 and people's fear of flying for the sorry state they're in.
Actually, I think that their knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, their over-cautiousness, and fear of any liability has made flying so much of a pain in the ass that people would rather walk. They need to pull their head out and learn the real reason people don't want to fly any more.
 
I just think the government should start taking its head out of its butt and stop implementing laws that are straight from 1984.
I think a civil suit from all the people who have their multitools (especially the bladeless ones) taken away would be a damn good idea.
