Wow. Good thing I wasn't the security guy

On about October 10th 2001, my wife and I went on a cruise for our tenth anniversary. We flew out of MSP to TPA. While going through security my wife gets pulled aside for having a pair of scissors that she uses to cut coupons. They took 'em away! needless to say, I had a Gerber pocket knife that I realized I had in my pocket about two minutes earlier , I slipped into our camera bag then got through security! With a knife! 30 days after 9/11!!! While in the air I pulled out my knife from the camera bag, and showed her. She got mad cause those scissors were her good ones!!
Last November we flew to PHX. My daughter had just bought an expensive bottle of hand lotion. A 6 ounce bottle, with her own money. She was crying!!
