Airport Security Inspection
(A true story)
David, my brother-in-law, works in commercial advertising and as part
of his work, he travels quite a bit. He and his camera crew were
going through airport security in New Orleans a few years ago. One of
the camera cases had plastic tie strips on it to prevent it from
opening during the flight. The TSA inspector seemed confused by the
plastic zip ties.
He looked at David and said, "I'm going to have to break these to
inspect this case."
David said, "Okay."
Then the TSA inspector paused and asked, "Do you have a knife so I can cut
these off?"
David had just passed through the security scanner so he said, "No.
I'm not allowed to have one."
The inspector said, "Oh, yeah." And let them go without inspecting the case.
