On my last trip to Miami I got caught with a Zippo in Buenos Aires. I had to sell it to some guy at a shop for a third of the price. Here's how it went down:
Security: Did you pack your bags?
Me: Yes
S: Did anyone give you a package to carry?
Me: No
S: Do you have a lighter with you?
Me: Yes
S: You can't take that on board and there's no time to check it
Me: But the duty free shop sells lighters. What if I bought it there?
S: ???
So I bought a lighter in Miami and on the way back it was like
Security: Did you pack your bags?
Me: Yes
S: Did anyone give you a package to carry?
Me: No
S: Do you have a lighter with you?
Me: No.
I was checked at MIA twice and even took out the lighter to pass it through the X ray machine.
Also, I bought a scanner that could tune in to aeronautical frequencies and I was carrying it in my backpack. Security didn't even bother to ask me what I had it for. It might as well be a transmitter to create chaos on board or something.
The story is actually longer, but I'm lazy right now and it would probably bore you to death.
Bottom line: No matter how much you spend in airport security, it just will not cut it. The only things keeping people safe, or so the media wants to make us think, are intelligence agencies.
What a dumb ass world.
