So here's me at Burbank:

Officer: Look at this knife. You're trying to take this on the plane?

Me: Holy shit I didn't realize that was in my bag.

Officer: Well do you want it back? Or do you want to fly today?

Me: I don't want it.

Officer: Don't mind if I keep it?

Me: It's all yours.



I had a TSA agent take my knife and hide it, carrying it over the X-ray belt and putting it in his bag in the secure area.

It was a $13 knife, but he liked it.

No doubt that was a security violation, but it's all security theatre.
