Note to self: Throw bag of fake Spanish doubloons into carry-on luggage.

I flew this past weekend and got something almost as good as doubloons or bitcoins: a free pass from the TSA.
Apparently random passengers are now selected to AVOID the screening patdown BS, and simply walk through a metal detector while the X-ray machine scans their carry-on. I am amazed that anyone thinks random “non screenings” are a good security feature, but I see the PR value.
My son was not so lucky: his bag was searched to find the item making a “cloud” on the X-ray: a charcoal hand warmer that has been in his shaving kit for 2 year and at least 6 flights, since our last ski trip. I’m glad they finally found this potential disaster waiting to happen, unlike the last half dozen screenings. I’m confused why, having found it, they let him keep it, since it is a great fire starter.

Hilarious.
He might have also been smuggling email into the country.

So, if the TSA searches my luggage looking for imaginary money, can I look, too? If I find any can I keep it?

And of course this is highly relevant to terrorism or whatever it is the TSA ostensibly exists to prevent.
Watch out that you don’t end up carrying any Disney Dollars. That could make you n instant terrorist.
If this sort of nonsense doesn’t prove that the TSA is pure fraud, then there’s no such thing as fraud.
