Are you serious??

Ok, so check this out. You might not be able to tell in the picture but my brother is holding a big, wrapped up METAL wine rack. He had bought it thinking that it would fit in our luggage coming home from KC but unfortunately, we guestimated the size of our bags wrong and it did not fit. So, he thought he would wrap it up and TRY taking it on the plane with him. We weren't sure if they were going to allow it. He put it through the security machine and the guy took it out and came up to him with it. Scott thought for sure that the guy was going to say that it would not be allowed on the plane and that he was just out of luck. However, instead of telling Scott that it was a forbidden object to be carried on to the plane due to the fact that you could definitely use a large piece of metal as an instant weapon he stated, "Here you go, I don't want to scratch it" and handed it right back to Scott. Mind you, since 9/11 I have had THREE TWEEZERS taken away from me going through security because they could be "weapons". But, nonetheless, he got it home with no problem and I am still out three tweezers. Un-freakin'-believable.
