A pair of miniature pliers (1 inch long) confescated at OMA. I wrote to TSA and they apoligized and offered to return it to me. Guess what? They couldn't find it. I told them to check the screeners pocket.

Nose hair scissors taken at ATL. Less than 1 inch long, the idiot said, they were "metallic, and pointed".

My 99 cent corkscrew had to be left at LAX.

They tried to take my electrical "sniffer" at ORD. (A pen size device that lights a red LED if you hold it near a live electrical wire.) The Goober-ette didn't know what it was. When I explained it, she asked why is it flickering when she rubbed it on her shirt. I told her that scientists just discovered a new Phenomenon called "static electricity". They copied my ID. I'm probabaly on their list now.
