I had this happen to me yesterday. I always carry one of these with me in my purse. Have NEVER been stopped before. Flew SEA-GEG in the AM - nothing. Returned in the PM with the SAME EXACT purse, same exact contents as the AM - nothing was added or deleted. Stopped in GEG and searched. Then had to listen to the "lecture." (I swear it's just because all three of the agents were just bored). At the end the gentleman said, "well because I'm nice I'm going to let you keep it THIS time. . ."
Sheesh. . talk about NO CONSISTENCY!!!!

No wonder half the time none of us know what's right/wrong.
