Many people are still carrying corkscrews, knives, nail clippers, etc. That does not mean they are allowed, it just means that people are carrying them. Our security system can not find them all, so they get onboard.

On one trip, I forgot I had one of those cheap corkscrews in my shaving bag. The goon went crazy trying to find it when it was spotted on the x-ray machine. He moved another one out of the way to get to that one. He was so happy with himself when he took it away from me.

Foolishness. Thats all.
