[Bon mots]

I flew to London and then New York with a Swiss Army knife in my travel pouch... forgot all about it.

Went through the x-ray machine...TWICE

When I got the phone call that my father passed away, I went right to the airport and didn't even think about the knife I always have attached to my keychain. I found it just before the x-ray machine, so stuck it in my travel pouch with my loose change, pens, wristwatch and other travel stuff. Got through just fine. Did the same thing in London.

For the way home, I had a clearer head and remembered to pack it in my stowed luggage. I already lost too many Victorinox knives, and don't want to lose my last one!

Good thing you didn't get caught or we'd have a thread about you here at FR ;-)
