I just read that over the Thanksgiving weekend there were 16,000 knives, 6 guns, and one brick (?) found at US airport screening checkpoints.
Don't these people watch the news?

In one case, I can explain. Before the flight, my girlfriend wanted to remove the scissors she keeps in her carry-on bag and put it into her checked bag. But she couldn't find it. So she assumed she must have moved it the day before and forgotten. The X-ray found the scissors, deep inside one of the pockets she forgot to look in.
