You need to apologize to harold. In the 80's I had a briefcase that I used for about 10 yrs, and had used on over 1000 flights. This was when they were having problems with all of the hijacked flights. When I purchased a new briefcase, and took everything out, I found a pocketknife with a 3" blade in one of the side compartments. I was surprised that it was never seen by the Xray machines. My guess is they would find it today. Or maybe I am hoping they would find it today. 3 years ago we flew to Rome via SFO , Cinncinati. Sharing a bagel while waiting in Cinnci airport, reach in the packpack and find the folding knife that lived in the backpack for picnics. About a 4" blade knife. Really good TSA (trained to steal anything) inspection. |

We know you couldn't, which means about most of the security folks in the airports could go home. What a colossal waste of money. |
