What else are they going to do with all that crap?

I've been busted with tools, and was given the option to get out of line and go mail them to myself, check them, or dump them. If you're still balking about the fact that they took your nail clippers or leatherman, you need more to do. If you can't afford to lose it, don't take it when you travel.

I think the security theatre at the airport is ridiculous, but don't fault them for looking at creative ways to get rid of all the junk you have to leave there. You may not like the rules, but the fact remains they are the rules. If you're outraged that they're selling your pocketknives on ebay, stop trying to get your pocketknives on the plane.
