I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of the travelling public has no idea that one can be fined for packing a cheese slicer in their carryon.
We can't read your minds.
In order to write an incident report, we have to have your info. We'll ask for your boarding pass and ID and you'll see us writing your info down.
(The true answer is that our metal detectors you walk through have scanners that read the secret chips that were implanted in your head while you were sleeping. That's how you'll all the sudden mysteriously receive a fine in the mail.)
