So much for security.
A weapon in the hands of someone with no intent to harm anyone is not a threat. It doesn't sound like your buddy was bringing a weapon onto an airplane so much as he forgot he had some tools from work in his wallet.

Security isn't perfect. Are you surprised?

I really hope our government isn't spending our tax dollars trying to prevent random citizens from bringing items which could be used as weapons onto airplanes. I know it often seems like that is exactly what TSA is doing.

If you were in charge of security at the airport, where would you focus your resources? What do you believe are the biggest threats and how would you defend against those threats?
