Just to play devils' advocate here, many have complained about the TSA (myself included) and how some may not be so smart. So what do we do......

We give them hard and fast rules. Switchblade, switchblade like = No go, prohibited item.

Then they confiscate an item and we end up beating them down again.

Now don't get your panties in a bunch. This was indeed an uncalled for situation. It was a car key for @#$%^^ sake. I would think a supervisor would or could have easily avoided the situation. Unless of course it was a Sup. that confiscated the item.

Again, the hard and fast rules....
