I'm glad the ACLU is there for stuff like this^Just doing a quick google search, I came across this:

This was exactly what Osama Bin Laden was intending in his terrorist attacks. Activities like this discredit the legitimacy and credibility of our system and works right into hands of those who wish america ill.

TSA - The shittiest government agency since the DEA.

How odd. I've definitely taken my Arabic textbooks on a plane before with no issues. Horrible that this happened though.

OBL won. We would have given the soviets massive shit for stuff like this back in the day

^ we're sorry in that half the country goes into conniptions at the mere thought of allowing, for example, a highly guarded, completely detained prisoner just to set foot on American soil.

Are you suggesting that there was a time in US history when the public wasn't totally irrational about politics?

^ I watched something similar happen the first time I went to Saipan. A Japanese couple was going through TSA with their disabled son. No one in the party spoke English. The TSA started getting uppity with the couple because they wouldn't remove his medical machine. I didn't understand why they didn't just move him into the private screening area.

I flew out to Salt Lake City last week with a bunch of luggage (went on a ski trip). I had completely forgotten that in one of my carry on duffel bags I had a Leatherman tool. A tool that happened to have a 3 1/2 inch blade on it.When did I realize I'd accidentally left this tool in my duffel bag? In Park City, Utah when I was unpacking my things.Good job noticing that one TSA! It's good to be a white male I guess

^^ I am pretty sure you can have a knife in teh baggage that you check at the gate. I carried my knife to NYC, I did almost leave it in my carry-on bag the day i left, but in my checked baggage it did not have a problem.
