what it was.
Another time they searched my camera case and took everything out, but missed the case with the filters in the front compartment, even though they removed the lens cleaning cloth and the rubber thingy I use to remove the filters, that was in with the same compartment.

I never feel safer when I fly because of TSA. That guy across the aisle with the foot long knitting needles is safer than someone with a fingernail clipper?
TSA is never proactive. They only react after the fact.
