About six months ago, my girlfriend and I flew from Tucson to Portland. On our return trip, when we through security, they found a pocketknife in her bag and a cigar lighter in mine. Of course they confiscated both of them.
But again, the scary thing is security didn’t see them when we left Tucson. She forgot she had the knife in her laptop bag, and I didn’t know lighters weren’t allowed. When I asked security who should I talk to for the lack of security in Tucson, they shrugged it off and said it happens sometimes, “we’re never perfect.”
The pocketknife was about 4 inches, when folded.
