If you travel as much as I do, you spend a great deal of time wondering about the people sharing that pressurized cylinder with you. With that in mind, here, from the Department of Homeland Security, is the current list of most-confiscated objects from people getting on airplanes:
Lighters 8,124,525 Sharp objects 3,041,218 Knives and blades 1,650,894 –Less than 3 inches 1,599,103 –3 inches or longer 51,791 Tools 819,450 Flammables/irritants 362,613 Ammunition and gunpowder 21,939 Box cutters 19,499 Clubs, bats and bludgeons 19,183
In looking at this list — people travel with bats, bludgeons, and gunpowder? — I’m reminded again why I don’t like flying.
