So, here I am flying as I have done countless times to Texas to visit the family. And just like every time I carefully make sure all my non-TSA compliant items are safely in my checked bag. Knives, multi tool, teeny tiny prybar, the whole nine yards. And then, just like always, I headed through security carrying only my little AAA o light and my Hinderer investigator pen.
Mind you, I've carried these on virtually every flight gut I've taken in the last few years. Well this time the f*ckers in the uniforms inform me that my pen is a weapon and they're taking it. Yeah.
I might have understood if I had the big huge "Extreme Duty" pen, or one of those pointy warhead caps, but cone on, the Investigator Pen?
I'm furious.
