I take your meaning.

My sister was recently telling me to leave everything (!) at home because airport security will take it anyway.

She said one male guard had never seen an eyelash curler and tried to confiscate hers, declaring it a weapon. Yeah, right. Are these people COMPLETE idiots? The question is rhetorical. The answer, obvious.

My sister was finally rescued by a female guard who apparently had to fill the guy in on some "facts of life."

Sigh.
