In Raleigh-Durham, I saw a sad Pilot "disarmed" of his hole puncher by TSA... no really, a lone one-puncture hand-held hole puncher, you know the kind from junior high with the gaurd on it, so you don't accidentally pierce an ear or something??? Oh, and then there was the Flight Attendant in Oklahoma City that had to give up the needles from the complimentary sewing kit from the hotel. She kept the thread... to floss her teeth? Her BIC PEN was more deadly than the sewing needles. And, traveling in my 'real person" skins... I watched a TSA employee remove a gallon sized bag from a fella who's items would have fit in the quart size bag. COMMON SENSE???? The passenger gave his goods up... I was STEAMING but in plain clothes and could do nothing to help my sweet passenger. For the record, security is soooo seperate from the actual airlines. So, weird items taken from security???
