Just returned from vacation in HNL with my wife and 2 young daughters, when they tried to confiscated a snoglobe with a little model of the pink colored Royal Hawaiian hotel, my 7 year old daughter had purchased with her allowance as a souvenir of our stay at the hotel.

I explained to the TSA agent that this was my last flight of the year and that I had already flown 162,000 miles and to please give me a break.

But no, I ended up having to go all the way back to the checkin desk with the snoglobe packed in my daughter's carryon. She was in tears as she thought it would be broken by the time we arrived back in CA. (Thankfully it wasn't!).

Great to see our tax dollars at work
