So here's a kinnda funny story from a week or so ago. After graduation and hanging out with my graduated friends, i went to the airport and flew out. So, like the moron i am, i forgot to check my carryon bag to make sure ther was no banned stuff in it. So, I'm flying out of GGG, Longview's local airport. There's 17 passengers, 5 bored looking TSA people, and a local cop. I walk up to the xray machine, and what do you know, they found some stuff in my bag i wasn't supposed to have. i got pulled over to the side for special screening as the dug through my bag looking for the offending articles. They were: A box of dry-erase markers, a butane lighter, six full matchbooks, a tube of chocolate peanut butter, and a small bottle of CLP (gun oil). After a little sniffing and a lot of debate, they decided to let me keep the markers (yes, they were sniffing my dryerase markers). The lighter, obviously, they took. The matches they put back in my bag. The peanut butter got confiscated. And i got the CLP back.
I'm pretty sure that if i was a terrorist, i could do a lot more damage with a bottle of oil and a ton of matches than i could with peanut butter and markers.
yeah. beaurocracy. gotta love it...
