Items you have "illegally" carried on a plane

I just got back from Reno Sunday night....

Got through the screening with a pair of nail clippers. Stupid ****....

Nail clippers are ok to bring on Maybe not after 9/11, but I from what I looked up they were allowed with an 02' update.

Damn. I thought the screwdriver that I forgot was in my carryon bag was bad that made it through on the way out. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), it was found on the way back and I felt like such a dumbass for having it with me. Kind of funny that the TSA person was apologizing that they had to take it away - I just said my fault and walked away feeling like an idiot for having it with me and wondered how it got through on the way up.

Screwdrivers less than 7 inches are fine to take on carry ons- see above post. I know they weren't the 1st few years after 9/11, but were ok after TSA updated their regs I think in 05'.

A few years ago I was about to board a flight at Reagan Intl when I realized that I still had my B53 thermonuclear warhead in my pocket. Frustrated at my own absent-mindedness, I dropped it into the wastebin before going through security.

You can always pick another one up at a drugstore at your destination.

Back in the day when I played ball I smoked weed in bathrooms of just about every major airport in the country and carried weed through even more of 'em. I've also brought in Cuban cigars (sans wrappers and boxes) from both Mexico and the Bahamas a number of times and several bottles of mescal tequila (with the real worm in it) from Mexico.

I'm not much of a lawbreaker. I've never knowingly carried anything illegal on board. I did have a small incident in Fort Worth after the championship game in January where I forgot I'd left a bottle opener in the back pocket of my jeans. I went through the detector three times, taking off various things, before I realized the deal. I thought for sure I was going to get the full cavity bonus plan after I whipped out the bottle opener, but they were very cool about it. The TSA guy even asked me if I wanted to keep the opener.

We flew up to Alaska, Yakutat, to do a few days of fishing in 1998 or 99. A guy we were with made it from there to Ancorage where we had a 4 hour layover. We were sitting a restaurant getting some food and up walk 4 security guards. They ask him to hand over the knife and take him out of the restaurant for some questioning. 30 minutes later he walks back with a grin on his face. Someone at the food place saw him with it on his belt and called security. They asked him how he got it through security, he said he walked ( it had only been on his belt for 9 straight days..just forgot). He got the option of sending it home from there or giving it up. He mailed it.

They'd never be that decent about it anymore.

Thanks a lot Bin Laden.

Forty pounds of weed in duffel bag on Alaska Airline but I checked it through, carried 30K back in a carry on bag. Nobody was looking at domestic flights in the 70s. Took a about a lid and a half of prime homegrown from Eugene, Oregon, to Amsterdam after high school - it was a big novelty over there at the time and traded for it's weight in hash.

My wife unknowingly carried a pot pipe from Charlotte to Grand Rapids and back to Charlotte before discovering in her coat pocket as we were waiting for baggage claim.

I knowingly carried an 1-2 8balls from:

2006: Asheville > Atlanta > Frankfurt > Helsinki > Tampere
2007: Asheville > Detroit > Amsterdam > Helsinki
2008: Charlotte > Denver > Missoula

Boy, was that stupid on all 3 accounts....I mean seriously, the first 2 were business trips.... ...it's really amazing that I am:

1- alive
2- not incarcerated
3- employed

..when you think about some of the stupid shit I have done....

Friend of a friend kept a few hits of acid in his suitcase on a flight to Amsterdam in December. Couldn't help but shake my head at that one.

I never checked my shit...hence the reason I said 1-2 8balls....I carried on 2, but usually had 1 left by the time the flight was over European mainland....remember talking with EU Customs nazi girl in Frankfurt at 6am trying to make my connection as she patted down my pockets and thinking, 'well, she either finds it and you're fokked or you've got a good story to tell your buddies once you land'.....really?

That's not to mention the Rosy Boa that I've taken on every flight I've made.
