That's insane. I concede my post, your story is on a whole nother incompetence level.

I don't see any 8 inch hunting knives, so clearly they haven't learned their lesson ... they let me through security in Denver, Chicago, New York, Newark and Houston with a HUGE blade in the bottom of my computer bag.
Noticed it when I was unpacking my bag because I bought a new one... yep, TSA at its finest.
I went through for a job interview and I had a cast on and a blow dryer and flat iron in my luggage. They swabbed my cast, and took the items and made me wait while they checked them out. I bet someone walked away that day with perfectly styled hair.
