Not detained by the TSA. No fun.
Earlier this week I flew with a carry-on containing
- Several really sharp point metal tweezers
- Replacement tips for ceramic tweezers
- Circuit boards
- Metallic anti-static bags
- Loose cables
- Misc. parts (screws, mirrors, small silicon wafers).
- Lots of bubble wrap and boxes
- A ziplock with hundreds of quarters, loose and in rolls.
- My freedom baggie that I forgot to remove.
Boy was I ready for trouble. Especially after bumping the WTMD on the first pass. But wait, nothing.
NO BAG CHECK! What the? People who knew what was in my bag couldn’t believe it.
The person behind me got his regular sized toothpaste tube confiscated, though it was obvious that less than 3 fluid oz. were left. Even my sarcastic comment to him & the TSA person about clean teeth being a threat to security didn’t do anything.
