I had a rather embarrassing moment at airport security a few years ago. My mother-in-law needed to come up north from Florida, and refused to fly. So, being a good son-in-law, I flew down to drive her, my father-in-law, and wife back. Once we got Mom in the van, we weren't going to easily get her in and out during the trip, so it was decided that I would bring a catheter to put in her (I am a nurse). Well, being that I wasn't staying long, I packed in a backpack, and chose to carry-on, instead of checking baggage. At the gate, they chose me to inspect. It was rather embarrasing when they pulled a catheter, insertion kit, and drainage back from my back pack!!!!

my friend forgot that security was taking lighters. he had a $1500 gold plated lighter that he had to give up. they wouldn't keep it in a locker or anything. he was pissed! we were going to vegas and he felt like he was already down 1.5k.

Easy. I was flying from the US to England to visit friends. I had a bunch of wrapped gifts in my carry-on luggage. One of them was a plastic toy gun. It never even occurred to me! I thought it would be funny for my English friend to have a cowboy style six-shooter.

As the bag was going through the X-ray machine, the security people stopped the machine. The man looked at me and said, "Um, is there something in your bag that shouldn't be there?"

It took me a minute to realize I had tried to sneak a gun through airport security.

Luckily, when I explained the situation, they were very nice about it. They made me unwrap the present, and I had to place it in my checked through luggage. But that was all.

My husband is a firearms instructor. I grabbed a "black bag" to
carry on at the last minute. A 9mm bullet had gotten lodged
under the cardboard bottom of the bag. Who do you think caught
"hell" when I got????
