Terry BlauwkampTSA took my allen wrench....
Yep, in San Antonio, the took a Leupold Torex Allen wrench I happen to have in my carry on, because I could assemble a bomb with it.
I had no bomb parts, but that did not matter.

Cold BoreYep, they took a set of interchangeable screwdriver bits from me last year in SLC. They were 1/2" long. All I had was the bits in the plastic case, no handle. Funny thing is, they told me that I could've kept the handle (what, about *6 inches* of steel, instead of the 1/2" bits??) if I had it with me, but not the bits, as they were considered "tools".
To top it off, once we took off, a lady pulled out a set of metal knitting needles that were over a foot long! She could've skewered you with them, but my bits were just too dangerous...

vapodogI was very fortunate returning from RSA in that I was allowed to put my porcupine quills in the tuff-pak with the guns.

RayGunterEmpoyment with TSA does not rquire any Logic abilities.
I suppose I'm asking too much of an enforcement agency thats populated with those that couldn't make it in real law enforcement.
