You're proud of yourself for finding and stealing completely harmless items like plastic bullets and grenade safety pins that are not actually attached to grenades? Ammo is useless without a gun to fire it from, and you're really worried about a bunch of people who could kill each other with boot laces having pocket knives?
You apparently see these declarations as some success to be proud of, but I see them as evidence that these searches are ridiculous, foolish, and not aimed at finding anything even remotely close to a credible threat.
