Don't forget the Sharp and Pointy Object search. No knitting needles, manicure scissors, corkscrews, metal nail files, knives (even blunt kitchen knives).. what am I missing, guys? Help me here! Then there was the true story of the WW 2 hero who was taking his Congressional Medal of Honor with him on a trip to West Point and the drones at "security" tried to confiscate it because it had sharp edges.
I'm a Toastmasters member and if I had this topic I'd have them rolling in the aisles or calling their Congressperson- or both.
And if you want a good laugh at the end, point out that flying naked will make it far easier for them to pass through "security".
Good points.
That reminds me that my wife ended up getting a pocket knife comphiscated at BWI. It was one her mom gave her, and it was a small, pink pen knife. Her mom gave it to her because she didn't want it taken. As dumb as it might sound, it was special to her.
Well, they told her to dump it or let them take it. Then she found out later that she could have mailed it home. Wasn't happy about that.
Thanks for the tip on NewsStand. I'm relatively new here and still finding all the sections to the forums. I just found this one the other night.
