Whats that in your purse?

Happy to be back in the Lonestar state and apparently lucky I made it. I had a little snafu in security due to a Swiss Army knife in the purse. The security process is always interesting especially when you are the one in the spot light What happened to me is something I feel happens to many while waiting for luggage on the other side of the mental detector. Excited because you have made it through and onto the gate you go the plan goes array as you wait for important components of your dress. As the belt comes to a stop, the screen watcher is suddenly very intrigued and fellow travelers stir restlessly looking at each other wondering whos bag is holding up the line. Then the moment hits when you realize its your bag! What ever could they be looking at? Oh, they called over the supervisor upping the ante. What is in there? Then whoops its your knife that you forgot to take out. Pissed off now thinking it is lost for ever (who cares if it was really your fault) the lovely and super friendly TSA people tell you that you can lose it or go mail it to yourself. To continue the joy of the experience you are escorted back through security and set off to find the wonderful Post Office. Once the post office is located of course it is closed so off to the gift shop you go as they will also mail it. $3 later knifeless and not too sure if you and the knife will ever be reunited back through security onto the tram and to the gate to wait for the tube with little to no leg room aka "the plane" that will transport you to super fun vacation!
