Transportation Security
August 22, 2007
I wasn’t trying to cause trouble, but in unpacking my carry-on backpack after my recent trip to San Diego, I discovered my large Leatherman tool in a side pocket. The tool has a four inch blade, pliers, wire cutters and a bunch of screwdrivers. I generally the tool in my backpack in my car along with other stuff for emergencies. I thought I had emptied the pack completely before repacking for the flight, but obviously forgot the side pocket
It passed through airport security both on both ends of the trip—in Detroit and San Diego.
That’s a scary thought.

I couldn’t get a bottle of sun screen through but the Leatherman raises no flags. Maybe I should have put the sun screen in a AK-47 dispenser.

President Bush keeps saying that the terrorists will follow us home if we leave Iraq too early. I guess the airport security people are doing their part to support the war in Iraq by helping to fulfill the President’s phophesy - making it possible for the terrorists to bring weapons on the plane.
Golf related - My car keys didn’t get picked up by the magic wand at the Bridgestone Invitational for two days. Finally, on the third day, they found them.
Also, when I went to court for jury duty, I wasn’t searched when I went in, I didn’t have to present ID when I signed in. I could have been anybody and I could have brought anything in with me.
I don’t think there’s too many people who are taking security measures seriously despite the ‘war on terror’.
