2. Pre-9/11

I talked to two different cops.

One forgot about a full speedloader with 6 rounds of .357 Magnum ammunition on their belt going through airport security. Breezed right through.

Another forgot about a switchblade--which he could legally possess, but not on an airplane--going through airport security. Procedure at the time was security officer perhaps asking you to open the blade and show the length. He held the knife, pressed the switch and held the spine of the blade while opening it, so as to conceal that it was a switchblade. Breezed right through.
