When I was leaving Asskrackistan back in December, I was flying out of Kandahar. We had to go through security, just like at an American airport and the guys working the security checkpoint (can't remember if they were Army or AF) told us we couldn't have any ammo (duh!) or anything with a blade on our persons or on our kits. So I put my Benchmade and Gerber multitool in one of my bags and sent them through the x-ray machine. At this point, you're separated from your bags, so I had no control over them, I couldn't even see the guys who were doing the x-rays. Anyways, when I got home I couldn't find either the Benchmade or the Gerber, and was sure that those SOBs at Kandahar stole my stuff. I was pissed. I love that Benchmade knife. Anyways, a few months later when I was finally finishing putting the rest of my deployment gear away, I found my stuff in my sleeping bag stuff sack. I had no idea that was where I put it. So my apologies to the guys working security at Kandahar, and I'm glad I didn't spend the money on a new Benchmade!
