They claimed they were too sharp. ?! I raised my voice a little, said, "You will have to take every pen from every passenger or we're gonna have a problem." They called a supervisor who said it was ok to give me my property back. You always take the chance of a bogus arrest I suppose, but I can't just stand there and let them steal.

My wife had her sharp tweezers taken. A cop started getting closer when she was questioning the security on their pilfering. I told her she should have filed a complaint with him (the cop) instead of being intimidated. The security finally agreed they should not have taken the tweezers, but as they were already in the 'security box', they couldn't get them back for her. What crap. But if you want to catch your flight, you just go along to get along.

I carry a recent printout of the TSA "What Can I Bring?" list, and am prepared to say, "Well, gosh, there must be some confusion...your own website says I can bring it, see? Why don't you call your supervisor."

I'm not going to let them steal from me. Good for you for not letting them steal from you.
