TBH I’m still laughing about the time TSA took my tube of sensitive teeth toothpaste while failing to notice the stun gun I left in the front pocket of my backpack.
I had to fish a letter opening I accidentally left in my backpack for them to inspect. Meanwhile, I had forgotten my essentially swiss knife utility tool thingy in my purse, which had several sharp objects. Not as absurd, but still, that moment I realized it was there, while still in the airport. Awwkward!
