I was in the middle of opting out when they asked whose it was, showed me the knife and I literally said Oh S**t. I didn’t know what to expect, arrest, ticket, whatever, but all that happened is that the knife was taken away from me and I was given the option of mailing it back to myself or returning it to my car.

When I got to Houston I noticed that all three of my checked bags had a TSA inspection note in them. Two questions:

Is it standard policy to inspect all of your checked bags if you something dumb like I did?

Am I permanently on some kind of list which will subject me to extra security?
