The amount of security in the country is inane sometimes. I'm afraid of even just carrying a bit of bone handled backscratcher I used as a sgian dubh substute. The reason? According to the large uniformed man who searched me, it "could be a weapon!"
When airport security was Federalized, I had high hopes that there would be standards of professionalism and intelligence applied to the job.

Alas, TSA employs the same people from the same mental institutions as the old private security firms.

I am firmly convinced that airport security are morons. And low function morons at that.
