Was it at MCO? If so you saw me I forgot to remove my dive knife from my dive bag which is a carry-on (normally it's checked), so when my bag was opened and searched, and they found out, I wasn't about to check my dive bag, which contains the things needed to keep me alive underwater. So I asked if I could dissassemble the knife, and she could do what she pleased with the blade. She called for a supervisor, and he ok'd it. I took the knife apart, and I started bending the blade till it gave way and snapped.
