I had a pure silver bodied Cross pen with my initials on it confiscated by airport security. I asked the biitch what she was gonna with it since she probably couldn’t read or write. Spent two and and half hours being interrogated where I gave the bulls all kinds of crap about how ignorant, stupid and wrong they were. Asked a supervisor to arrest one of the bulls because he had a pen in his pocket.
Did you get your pen back? Cross makes very nice pens.
I had a Cross pen confiscated right after 9/11, too. Still mad. Mine was at a concert, but it was a 20 minute walk through a tough neighborhood in the cold to the car.
