[Elecraft] Swiss Army Knife

[Thorpe, Jeffrey]

Geez - I lost my Swiss Army Knife (the teeny one) to TSA at Tucson too. What’s with that place. I’d had it over 30 years since before I got married. It as our 30th anniversary, heading to Hawaii.
I have a new replacement now. Missing all the “character” the other had.

On the flight from Tucson I put the knife in checked baggage but on the return trip after checking my luggage I remembered it was in my carry-on camera case.  When the bag went through the scanner I could see the guy moving the conveyor belt forward and back and figured my goose was cooked.  So I said something like, "Damn I think I left my pen knife in that bag."  He said, "Okay take it out and show me."  of course, he declared it contraband.  Since we were holding up the line, I was just going to surrender it and move on.  My wife threw a fit and the agent said, "Take it over there."  It turns out they have a counter just for stuff like this.  She took it there and for $8 they put it in an envelope and mailed it to us.
