the thread about nothing...

Planned a day trip to NYC with my daughter. We’re in the TSA like almost to the counter, she taps my shoulder - she left her combat pocket knife in the bag. Had to get out of the line. We missed the flight. Smh.

Told her we will just go another time.


Damn, why she got a combat knife though?
 
If you didn’t want to throw it away they used to sell you a prepaid envelope so you could mail it home. It was robbery at something like $20 if it wasn’t too heavy an item but was useful.

The flight was departing 20 mins - it would been a time constraint issue at that point.
 
Today's run. Rainy out.

Went back to the same mall with my nephews this time. Couldn’t resist and picked up another pair of shoes for $9.99.

In my defense, it was the last pair in the store AND they were my size :lol: :blush:

I’m gonna stay away from the mall for a few months now.
Dope pickups. And good idea to stay away from the mall, lol. I also need to stay away from Kohl's. I dropped $126 on boxers couple of weeks ago & yesterday another $153 on some shors & button downs. It would've been $193 but luckily they sent me a 30% off coupon in the mail few days ago & it came in clutch. It's only half a block from my place so super accessible whenever. I told myself I'm avoiding Kohl's for the rest of the year :lol:

Ah damn, that sucks. No worries as there's always a next time. Your situation reminded me of when me & my brother went to Chicago back in 2011. In my duffle bag which may have been used by my dad a few times tucked away in a small discreet lil corner pocket was his marine knife. I have no idea how TSA here in nyc & TSA in Chicago let me on the plane with that in my bag. It had to have shown up when they scan the carry-on's through the machine. This is an internet pic & it's very close to what I had on me. I only noticed it when we got back home & I was emptying out my bag. Thank God they didn't see it...it wouldn't have ended well for me with me being Muslim :lol:

zmaqbool zmaqbool Man you flew under the radar. That’s the type of knife my seed has. :lol:

With the timing and my background, I couldn’t risk the scene.
To this day I wonder how I was able to board those planes not once but TWICE with that knife on me- was it laziness on TSA's part, was it overlooked human error perhaps? Or it never showed up on the xray machine? Indeed Allah looks out & protects us all, Ameen.

Alhamdulillah your daughter realized it's there before getting to screening & we def don't want one of the agents to be the ones to find it. Yeah, you def don't wanna risk it with your background :lol:
 
Man I would have just told her to be slick and drop it in the trash and buy her a new one. 🚮

TSA is dumb as rocks. I got held up for 45 minutes because they said candle was suspicious but then didn’t have anyone to check it for residue. Like just keep the candle then and let me go idiots.

I’ve done that too - but never as big a knife as that. A few years ago I flew 4 times the same week (London and back twice) and at the fourth check security found a screwdriver in my bag that I had forgotten was there. I’m convinced it’s all a show - they’re just profiling and they’re the ones who get their bags checked.

A couple years ago they made me put my whole toiletries bag back through the x-ray because they found a tin of shoe polish in my bag - and somehow it being in the clear plastic bag did something different? I also learned that day that shoe polish is a liquid…
 
Who just has dynamite laying around to easily confuse with a candle? :lol

Agree, TSA is for show and profiling. My homie is Mexican with a big beard, we have to plan and extra hour to travel with him because you know…

well it's both profiling and prejudice. I was held for interrogation before because an idiot fat-butt betch whose only job is to stamp my passport sent me to interrogation because she spoke and talked to me a language which I couldn't understand.

not sure if already told the story here that we got held due to my baby's "aveeno" lotion for his eczema allergy. the funny thing was that they allowed my to go thru even with some metals on me but not my son's lotion just because it exceeded their 100ml and clear container policy. possibly the worst and most stressful scenario I had to deal with and I could have punched people for their inhumanity.

The ****** up part is I know I’ll be back for Father’s Day. I can do it though, plenty of control and being low on cash helps not to spend more 😂

Wow man, you pretty much got yourself a new wardrobe for a good price. How many shorts did you grab? I don’t think I’ve ever shopped at kohl’s but now you have me interested. I thought it was a place that only sold kitchen stuff and furniture. I know I have it confused for another store.

Kohl's is expensive as fk but they are like a casino they end up giving you so much free in the form of coupons and kohls cash it's hard not to shop there
