Thread: Oops I attempted to carry a straight razor onto a plane!

Might be time to throw a padded mailer into your carry-on as well. Put your name & address plus plenty of postage on it. You might be able to toss it into a mailbox somewhere outside the secured permiter of the x-ray machines.

I wouldnt trust anyone but a post office with important mail like that, and the only airport I know of hat has one is in Denver

I'm amazed! I just had my favorite pipe lighter confiscated at Newark, and here they let you on the plane with a miniature sword.

They are noy permitted to confiscate any legally owned/transported personal personal items. They ust give you the option to check your bag and go back through security, if you choose not to take that option then they remove the items from your back. I chose to recheck the bag....unfortunately the sewecond oleg of my flight got cancled and now I am attempting t o uncheck my baggage grrr....

Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. At least they didn't detain you any longer. And probably a good thing you didn't have that 30/8 that Bill is building for you and displaying on the other thread. Of course, I'm sure you didn't peek at it! Well, no, I voted you would look as well!

Yeah, they gaveme the option, but my luggage was already checked, and I didn't want to miss the flight. So, bye bye lighter.

I haven't travelled in a couple of years, so I'd like to know if they don't allow lighters and matches, what options do smokers have if they're connecting other than asking for a light?

You're apparently allowed two or three books of cardboard matches.

Or you could quit!

Had I known this place could be so entertaining, I would have joined a long time ago.

I could wreak a heck of a lot more havoc with a couple of books of matches than with my Zippo, had I been inclined to do so. As for quitting, I did make a promise to a certain young lady that I'd do it before my 30th, but I still have 3 productive years until then
