In the 80’s, you could bring a little pipe bomb with you.
As a treat for being against them commies?
Happens all the time. I’m sure I left most bombs at home but really all of them?
That’s what got Brittney Griner! You never know what little doohickey is hiding in your undergarments. Could be a vape cartridge, could be a pipe bomb.
The problem is not you might pack a bomb, but something that triggers the TSA agent into thinking about bombs. They’re sensitive like teachers looking at a five year old kid who chewed his poptart into a gun and is pew-pew-ing at his peers.
The TSA use to have a trophies page of crap they confiscated because it spooked a TSA agent, and that did not include the things they confiscated because some TSA agent thought he might like a used iPad (or something). It also didn’t include any actual bombs.
In fact, the only bombs they ever caught were those planted by the hired pen-testers (and they totally failed to catch most of them).

Right after 9/11 I went to a small Star Wars convention by plane. Of course I had my homemade lightsaber with me in my carry-on. This pipe-like contraption with a red button and a hole you could see random electronic components through.
I was lucky I could keep it through both flights.
Swim on the way from Amsterdam ;P
Look at that dewpoint!
Fun fact, that is a pedobear meme from like 2008
I really don’t think that’s the same bear.
It’s not exactly. It was used in the same context as the one you posted.
That is actually Rilakkuma
