The lack of consistency has been a ..... of mine from the beginning. I'm not saying that all of us are bad or on power trips. I'm just saying that the possibility exists and if you want to get through screening as quickly as possible, don't challange them while your traveling. Wait and do it after. I hate seeing people have to leave and go back down to baggage to check something when they could have done it in the beginning. I know there is no policy against fishhooks, but in reality, some sups won't let them through.
