We may as well all stop using air travel. The terrorists have won.

I wonder who "noticed" it (read: ratted on the passenger)? Pathetic.

Makes me question the judgment of the guys or ladies up front who made the decision to go back.

I'm very happy I'm away from the United States of Stupidity.

Then again, I have some opinions on Korean 'safety', but I will leave those unsaid.

If this happens often enough, maybe the airlines will start squealing about how ridiculous the restrictions are to the TSA.

I saw 3 on Monday SAT-BWI. No problems...

Then again, the TSO who ransacked through my bag at the gate-check opened my bathroom kit, but didn't bother checking/opening a plastic trash bag that had a pair of shoes in it.

You hit the nail on the head. There is zero conformity with TSA. Very annoying.
