Did they let that trimmer on with those blades?
For me, they remove a plastic knife or a screwdriver with a 3" blade. Buncha clowns.
And yes, I was once trying to bring back some beer cheese from LEX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_cheese_(spread)) and they stole it, no doubt to be consumed later.

Doesn't surprise me at all about the cheese spread. Last year I bought some of the cookie butter spread at Trader Joe in LA and it's a thick spread like Peanut Butter, not a liquid, and the TSA employee at LAX Terminal 5, insisted it was a liquid and not a solid. I wasn't in the mood to go back and check my bag and wait on it after a long flight for a $3 item and told them just to keep it and I'm sure it found a new home in the TSA employees cupboard or breakroom instead of the trash can

This is why TSA hates me 
yes that is an extra large suitcase full of "sticks" with a heavy tree trimmer.
I have also brought a huge bag of "rocks" (crystals) and sand in suitcases.
Once it was a whole suitcase of yarn.
Coming back from gramma's is always an adventure.
Going out- carry on full of cheese, fruit and a tens unit..... did you know that cheese sometimes shows up as C-4 on an xray?

Why are you packing sticks in a suitcase? Is there a shortage of trees and bushes where you live?

trimmer & sticks- why
the trimmer and "sticks" were a checked bag but tsa still opened it and was having a fit- LOL they kept tring to say they were a "plant" - it was tulsa airport.
My grandmother grows trees at her house I can't grow in Ca. She was selling the house and it was my last chance to get the wood I needed for making wands. So I bought a trimmer and a suitcase at the vetran thrift store and trimmed trees before she moved.

... I could imagine a Medical/Dental trade show could be fun as well.
