I flew to Washington DC using a small duffle bag for my carry-on bag. Went through security there and back with no problem. When I got home and unpacked, I discovered** five 12-gauge shotgun shells** in a side pocket! :eek:
I had used the same duffle bag a few weeks earlier on a duck hunting trip and totally forgot they were in there.
I unintentionally flew with a slot-head screwdriver in my laptop bag. Length = 5 inches, tiny narrow slot head on one end, phillips on the other, would be decently effective as a throat-puncturing device.
Also had a 4.5 oz bottle of Blair’s MegaDeath hot sauce, which is widely considered a lethal weapon when applied to the tongue, aside from which that’s more ounces of liquid than you’re supposed to be allowed as carryon.

yep me too.
Recently, a large bottle of hot sauce. The really, really hot kind, too.
I have a small multitool shaped like a key that I’ve carried onto at least 20 flights and haven’t had it confiscated yet. I even spotted the exact tool on one of the TSA’s “things you can’t bring on board” display cases.
My sister absentmindedly packed her set of wood carving knives - basically a big box of really, really sharp scalpels - in her carry-on. She got noticed, all right. Had to be patted down because of metal buttons on her jeans. :smack:
I’ve gone through with needles for (legal) self-injectable drugs several times, and they’ve never asked to see my doctor’s note.
Recently, I made it through with a five-ounce bottle of Garnier Fructis Anti-Frizz Styling Milk. I had the baby with me, and if stopped I suppose I could have argued that it was milk (“it says so right on the bottle!”), but I was worried that they would make me sample some of it.
