Yeah, right, those.

I can honestly say I had one of those moments. I had a 2.5 inch-WIDE Swiss Army Knife that I forgot I put into my briefcase when I moved in 2003.

The difference is that TSA at IAH missed it once, and the TSA in DEN missed it twice. I checked my Tumi rollaboard with the knife on the way back home from Boston.

But I personally have never had an item confiscated.

And it doesn't change the Frequent Fliers' perception of the TSA's wholly PR purpose.
