    The security is pretty much theatre. Anyone who isn’t an idiot acting on a whim will be able to get anything (within reason) they want past security and onto a plane.

    Take a look at the stats on the number of incidents airport security has actually stopped. You see a whole bunch of “airport security stopped this number of guns/knives/etc” but 99.999999% of them were just people forgetting them in the wrong bag.

    Hell, I brought a knife onto a plane at least a half dozen times by accident, only realizing when the knife I lost months before fell out at a hotel.

      I am a “regular” flyer and a stoner and I never fail to bring with me a sample of devil’s lettuce when I’m leaving for extended period of time and never once I’ve had any issue bringing my hazardous material with me.

      One time I even embarked with a small firework in my wallet I forgot I placed there after a party and none bat an eye.

      Security level: top (not gun)
