Having just returned from another air trip, I relate the following story.

On this trip, a one day in and out to a southern city, I carried in my rolling card a video projector, which we use for our pitch presentation to Potential Client.

Also on my person is a home-made burrito (I bring food on my trips, because I can't ever find healthy choices when I travel), and in rolling bag, in a pouch, is, as there has been for over a year, a small folding knife:
The knife was accidentally left in a pouch and it was my intention to remove it long ago, but the knife has been to Chicago with me so many times, that I decided to just leave it in there.

Well, my bag has been hand-checked several times (the burrito always gets attention) and it's been about a year now and not once have they picked up on this knife. I have a mailer, ready to go, but the knife just sits there.

I feel safer.

"Travel Suppression Agency" That's how I view them. I won't step foot in an air terminal.

Airport authority has stupid policies to screen out dangerous people. If they can't differentiate between a movie T-shirt and a real weapon, we have serious problem.
