| 6. A few weeks ago, I accidentally forgot I had a pocket knife |
|
in my carry-on (attached to my car keys). I always take loose change, car keys, watch, etc. and put into carry-on back pack for screening machine. But, this time I forgot about the pocket knife!
They did ask me to remove my shoes...I hadn't gone through this routine before...and, was informed that my slip-ons had metal in the soles! That was news to me!
Anyway, after being 'frisked' by a friendly and efficient gentleman, he asked me to take my shoes again through the x-ray machine. And, I told him I was a 'clean freak'...and, I didn't want to walk on the dirty floor in my stocking feet! Low and behold, this kind man took my shoes himself to the scanner! My feet never touched the dirty floor!
I have been flying for over 40 years...my father was a pilot...and, I still have trouble with these new 'rules'. But, honestly, I didn't realize it until much later that I had forgotten to take the knife off the key ring and pack it in my checked bag. Yikes!
