I’m sitting here in the Tampa International Airport terminal awaiting my flight back home to St. Louis, killing time. They have free wireless so I always try to get here plenty early and scour the web for you, my readers. I must be in a corridor that houses a TSA office or breakroom, because many TSA agents continue to stroll by. While scouring I ran across this article: 
The 7 Dumbest Things Ever Done by Airport Security.
Here is just one example from the article:
There’s the case of Patrick Smith, who got stopped with a butter knife. A butter knife from the plane. It was one of the knives they give you with your in-flight meal.
But what was this crazy man doing trying to sneak airplane issued silverware through security anyway? Why couldn’t he have just waited to get one with his meal, like a normal person?
Well, the airline issued it to him. Because he works for them. As a pilot. And all of this happened while he was standing there in full pilot uniform.
Wrap your mind around that. If this man was a terrorist and intended to fly a plane into a building, he doesn’t need a knife to get into the cockpit. They pay him to sit there.
Okay, so my family and I were standing in the security checkpoint line one day and there was a commotion up ahead. They were not letting guy through. Apparently, to them the “government issued ID with photo” only meant “driver’s license.” This guy had a NASA ID BADGE. With his picture on it. NASA. What part of Government issued ID with picture and NASA ID badge don’t fit together?
I guess they didn’t accept his space shuttle driver’s license.
