Well I unpacked all my shaving supplies in a rush to the Newark, NJ airport to catch a flight down to augusta, GA to do some work tonight at Fort Gordon, but I forgot to unpack my 8/8 worked back Friodur! Well the first thing the TSA rep did was run his finger over the blade and although I was hoping he would lose a finger for being such a moron, he didnt. Then several other TSA agents attempted to examine the razor which I quickly put an end too.

Then the police arrived and proceeded to nudge me in my bad shoulder to get my attention as I was on the phone trying to rebook my flight that was due to leave in 5 minutes at that point. I tried not to be to pissed off at the cop since she had no idea I had a bad shoulder, but Im sure I was noticeably agitated. The police attempted to ask me the same questions the TSA had, which was "why did I have the razor", I told them "I shave with it", but it was easy to see they didnt believe me they and started giving me a hard time.. I might have made my life easier by showing the police some of my cretentials and/or stack of fop / pba cards, but I was so embarased at my stupidity, I decided it wasnt worth alerting my company or any of my friends that I had been so dumb.

The tsa then proceeded to measure the blade repeatedly against a steel ruler and Im sure mangaed to dull my newly Lynn honed blade against my repeated requests to turn it around (Lynn if you are reading this, I may be sending it back for a touchup as I wont be able to strop it on the pasted strop due to the upcoming surgery).

Finally they let me go and said I would receive a warning or summons in the mail. I was noticeably not phased by this statement because my company and several agencies and other companies need me to fly all the time, and they tend to handle these type of situations very quickly for us. I did not mention this tidbit of information, but it was easy to see they were a little bit confused and disapointed that I was not worried about this.

So anyway here I am in the airport waiting for my next flight which gets me into augusta at 11:50 pm, 10 minutes before I have to be on sight and on base....ohwell I guess they will just have to wait lol!
