After Christmas last year I was flying out of the airport in Toledo,
Ohio and they were getting a head start on the new search rules that
went into effect on Jan. 1. I was a little preterbed that the guy
completely unpacked my suitcase at the inspection counter, until the
very end when he said, "OK, is there anything else you've got that
needs to go into checked baggage?" It was then that I remembered my
Swiss Army pocket knife that I've had for years. Since I got almost
strip searched at the gate inspection, I would have lost it there.
Hopefully, things will be a little more relaxed when I travel to
Detroit this week.
I should hope not! The airlines just received another threat warning
only the week before last, and things seemed sensibly tight at Boston
last week.
