From an email to Erick Erickson from a soldier returning from Afghanistan:
This is probably another good time to remind you all that all of
us were carrying actual assault rifles, and some of us were also
carrying pistols.So we’re in line, going through one at a time. One of our
Soldiers had his Gerber multi-tool. TSA confiscated it. Kind of
ridiculous, but it gets better. A few minutes later, a guy empties
his pockets and has a pair of nail clippers. Nail clippers. TSA
informs the Soldier that they’re going to confiscate his nail
clippers.
