TSA is such a joke.
I (accidentally) got this through security. It wasn’t even hidden, it was in the side pocket of my back pack that holds a water bottle.
Funnily enough, they pulled my bag aside because of a hand sanitizer container that was too big.
I didn’t notice it in my bag until I was on layover in SFO.

It's security theatre. Last flight I took I forgot to remove a Swiss Army Keychain Knife from my bad which made it through but they opened my bag and swabbed it for explosives over some Snicker's Bars.
This, TSA is a massive waste of time and resources. when the frick has shampoo been used in a terrorist attack. frick all of them.
Yup, totally agree.
Not only they waste time, they can't even perform their duties 80% of the time.

I also accidentally snuck a knife on a plane once. It was a plain pocket knife, clipped into my pocket, not concealed whatsoever. Forgot it was there since I always have a pocket knife, and it didn't get caught even in those full body scanners, where you have to face forward, then back. My guess is that since it was on my side, they didn't notice it against the dark background of those scanner images.
When I noticed it on the plane, I very carefully unclipped it and slipped it completely into my pocket lol

This guy accidentally snuck a gun past TSA.
I had 3,000 euros in cash in a pocket of my backpack and the TSA broad was reaching her hand to feel it but didn't pull it out. She was being very sly about it and I had my eyes glued to her. I think she somehow signaled one of the other thieves who came over and started talking to me. I never took my eyes off her and she finally slowly pulled her hand out in defeat... Could have been imagining it but these fricks have stolen things in the past. Never take your eyes off your shit.
I live in Miami and a bunch of TSA agents here just got busted stealing from peoples wallets on the conveyor belts.
How moronic do you have to be to think that's decent idea. They caught them with like 20 cameras pointing at them from different angles. I hate Cubans so god damn much it's not even funny.
One time it was raining really hard and I got drenched going into the airport. I went into the body scanner and the TSA agent started screaming with laughter and called the other agents over and shows them the screen. I'm just standing like a fricking idiot, dripping wet while these hyenas are just cackling. I finally ask if everything is ok, and they spin the screen around and the way the water was on my pants, it came out looking like a very detailed and anatomically correct tiny dick and balls on my crotch. They then spin the screen around and start showing people in line and pointing at me and laughing. They end up holding up the security line for like 5 minutes so everyone can see it.
Like thank god I don't actually have a baby dick or anything or else I would've felt bad, but jesus christ people, have some professionalism.
Frick those scanners. I always opt out. Now some places in europe are refusing to let people opt out so I have to look that shit up ahead of time to find where to fly into (I think it was Munich where the security guard was giving me shit for saying I wanted to opt out). I just know they're saving all those naked pictures of everyone.
The security theater is a psyop intended to discourage the poor from traveling and learning more about the world but nobody is saving grainy black and white images of your flab and small dick, anon.
If you want to feel true rage just know that first class and vip guests do not go through security. If you are rich enough you pay to arrive at the airport 10 minutes before, go to a special check in desk, and hop right on. It's all a dance to remind poor people their place.
>How moronic do you have to be to think that's decent idea
You go to federal prison if you do that shit instead of state too, and there's no parole in federal prison.
You should have sued them.
kek that's funny although if it was me in that situation I'd be pissed.
Based knife smuggler. When I was in line in LAX, the scanner would ping random spots on people for patdowns by TSA agents, like the top of their left shoulder or the side of their right thigh just above the knee. It was laughable. TSA is all about security - job security for TSA agents.
I once almost cut off a chunk of my thumb with that knife
My Mom and I had the same jar of jam, just in different suitcases. Hers went by no problem, but for some reason they take my jar away and a small bottle of alcohol since it wasn't checked or whatever (still under 3.5oz), both were Black person ladies, and of course we joke/ask how is an unopened jar of jam going to blow up a place? I shit you not all we got was the fluoride stare.
Wouldn't have happened though if Miami wasn't so moronic as to make you do another security check for layovers
they are thorough now.

This honey pot is on another level.

This is not the board you think it is.
it took you this long to realize it was actually a welfare program
While flying out of Jordan at 3 am, having spent a couple of hours of fitful sleep on the departure hall floor, I got the most thorough security check I've ever experienced. The woman handling the x-ray machine was absolutely convinced I was carrying a knife in my backpack, and the officer there went over every pocket and packet and piece of cloth several times, sending it through the x-ray two additional times, swabbing everything and finally after half an hour of rummaging finding a tiny hole in the top lining in which a dinner spoon had fallen through. The officer was cool and joked about it, but I didn't get to keep my spoon. Middle East airports in general take this type of security a lot more seriously, for intra-Europe flights you can basically bring whatever you want.
It is indeed a joke.
I remember a TSA agent once called me aside after a scan of my bag. He made me pull out all of my carefully packed clothing, then root around in the bag, and then finally turn the bag upside down and shake it. Out of it fell a crappy little combination nail file/blade (two separate items, hinged into a 1.5 inch metal sleeve) that came from a fingernail clipper kit someone had given me when I was a kid. The blade was rusty, rounded, and blunt as hell, but the TSA goon acted as though he'd just discovered a major terrorist incursion.
So I gave him the stupid thing, stuffed my clothes back into my bag, and continued on into the airport.
That's the big joke: if they catch you with their version of "contraband," they just confiscate it and either let you go through or kick you out of the airport. Genuine bad actors would take it as a practice run and try again with better prep.
They suck at their jobs and are unemployable unqualified circus monkeys but think about how much you could really do with a knife as opposed to a gas bomb. And a knife could be useful in an emergency crash or survival situation.
