I once inadvertantly smuggled 8 nail clippers to Chicago.
(There was a hole in the bottom of my pocketbook, and I was convinced that my roommate was "borrowing" them.)
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had a coworker that managed to get two laptops through with no power-on test, plus a boning knife. This was pre-9/11, but still scary.

Is this when I mention my friend's 5 year old who had filled her pockets with clothes pins prior to getting on a flight without her mother's knowledge?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have never flown with a laptop before - does it need to be on and in the bin or just in the bin?
Also, if I am checking luggage with my toiletries in it, do those need to be in a quart bag or no?
It's been about 4 years since I've flown (!!!!) What other wonkiness can I expect?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You have to pay $20 more for an "inside the airplane" seat.

I like the wind in my hair. I'll take the wing.
And I'd better get to work on my spin classes.

I'm trying to figure out how to bring my camera bag, my laptop, and an overnight bag without having to check anything.
overnight bag large enough to hold the camera bag going through security (if a bit squished), laptop in slim cushion sleeve that ideally would also fit in overnight bag. and laptop can just be slid out right at security and back in when recovering bags.
