I just stopped a huge line at the airport

[sandyd]

Ive had people warn me for this (because they probably did this before), but I was skeptical.

I do a lot of travelling, so I always have all this miscelaneous stuff in my carry-on that might have not been unpacked yet (I also use the cary-on for other purposes).

It turns out I accidentally left one of those un-damageable, fully metal, heavy flashlights in my carry-on. (its sort of like the kind that doormen use, except that mine is much shorter, and has been dropped more). uh-oh. that was a bad idea.

I got surrounded by security while passing through the scans, because the flashlight showed up as a "grenade shaped object".

Which consequently delayed the flight for 1h.
lol

This reminds me of a couple of shows I sometimes watch which deals with people coming through customs. One episode had someone make a silly joke and then wonder why all the security guards showed up.

We got held up at an airport going to the Dominican this summer. One of the guys with us brought back a few bottles of rum. When he was questioned and had to get rid of it all, he came back to us and said, in a thick Newfoundland accent, "I had to get rid of all me rum! They said I couldn't take water on the plane!" to which someone replied "yes, but that is liquid" to which he replied "No, this is rum, not water"

I loaned my mother-in-law a bag for a trip. I used to keep shotgun shells in it. The TSA used the wand with the sniffing paper on it.

Oops!

I had to explain the gunpowder residue to the security guards before they would release her.

*giggles* my sister did the same thing, only worse, she had the actual gun with her... my sister , going to a flight at 4am was so sleepy that... she forgot to unholster her gun, take out the bullets (if youve ever owned a gun before, youll realize that even if you pull out the magazine, theirs still a bullet inside), and hand over the gun forms (their at a seperate desk). She was luckily stopped by a extra-friendly baggage worker before she got to the desk :eek:

This is an international forum. Some people are thinking WTF. Yes, it is legal to be armed in some countries. I like the jokes about driving where I live. The jokes describe someone doing something impolite in traffic. Then the joke concludes with the warning that it is "Legal to be armed in _____".

shes from texas, so naturally, she carries a gun :)...

I almost pooped my pants when security asked me about my hair wax.

Imagine what it feels like to be questioned about a gun:lolflag:

I just don't fly. I think we all have some good stories of trying to get on an airplane and forgetting something in the bag.

Car horns are actually "Road Rage" indicators, and remember, it's legal to be armed in Texas.

My brother once forgot that he had a set of butterfly knives in his bag. When a TSA agent found them, he said something like "hey, I've been looking for those for years!" Luckily, the TSA agent was a reasonable guy who could see that this teenager wasn't a terrorist.
