Real life stories of the TSA

[Brother Francis]

MCO!

An officious little twerp at MCO confiscated from me a 2 1/2 inch long toy adjustable wrench; a gift from my then 8 year old daughter.

Twerp: " This is prohibited."

Me: "You've got to be kidding."

"It's on the 'prohibited items' list."

(Laughing) "Oh, for Heaven's sake!"

(Feathers ruffled) "This is not a laughing matter, sir."

(Laughing harder at petulance combined with reddening ears) "Oh, yes it is."

Wander off shaking head. Call daughter, now 11, on cell phone: "Guess what honey? They finally got your wrench."

(Daughter giggling) " About time. Did they get your Xena Princess Warrior ax too?"

"It's a Conan the Barbarian ax and no, a guy got arrested for telling them about that."

Don't know whether to laugh or cry.
