okay after making three flights to get from rno to bna all i've got to say is that airport "security" is a bunch of snake oil. i was late for my flight (which left at 6:45 which is a pretty ungodly hour when you factor in the hour and a half they want you to be there early) and as i was running through the "security" checkpoint they double scanned my bag before asking if they could open it.
"sure, lets get moving" i told them.
"you got a leatherman in there don't you?".
"fuck. yeah." this was going to take a while...
"well you're going to have to take it back and check it".
"is that my only option? my flight leaves in ten minutes"
"that's pretty much it"
and off i ran less a leatherman wave. as i was halfway to salt lake city it hit me. i'd just thrown away a 60 dollar knife and they still hadn't secured the cabin. they'd totally missed another pocketknife with a 3-inch blade. i tossed that fucker in a garbage can first thing once i got in the airport incase they were searching people. i never did get searched but i watched them pull four or five people aside to look through their bags and thoroughly metal detect them. i guess the "computer" was "randomly" selecting people.
