Thank God I had my coins in my carry-on!..

...Because my checked bag was searched. As when I opened it I found that little slip on top. But then, in my bag of books, one book had another in it like a freakin bookmark! Apparently I got a coin geek TSA agent that's into early half dimes lol...

Good thing he missed the signature. I asked Ken to do a doubled die signature. He loved it, said it's the first he's ever done and assured me he wouldn't do it again on my request

 

excellent!

I am sure that Ken loved it!

The next time you fly, see if you can find some 8x10 glossies of a TSA man trying on a bra and put those in your luggage.

great idea!

Love it

 

They are sneaky devil's . ...... they done the same to me on occasion .

 

Agent probably thought, "this guy's up to something with this really boring book he thinks no one will check"

 

Yeah he's lucky they didn't do a more intimate search...

Put him on a no fly list......

 

You know you can be TBA certified . I am while everyone else is removing items of clothing being x ray ed ,and given a feel.......I'm on the other side at Starbucks

That really PO my boss two weeks ago....... of course the post it on his back didn't help either

 

Yeah but I don't fly enough right now for that

 

How do you know I might not already have a few in there? I'm a trophy hunter

 

Got TSA Pre too. While that alone would not be worth it (can be used with US airlines only, maybe Canadians too, but no others), I have the Global Entry bundle, and that works regardless of the carrier. However, even with TSA Pre your luggage may still go through some random check ...

So true my wife got caught with a screw driver coming out of Mexico yeah a eye glass screw driver I was like WTH?

And that's a fun entry as you push a button going through Mexican customs.......it's like a lottery push it ,the red light comes on and....time to show everyone your thongs

 

Never put valuables like coins, currency or jewelry in checked luggage. They show up nicely on x-ray, and checked luggage is x-rayed in the back room in most airports. My wife's aunt made the mistake of putting jewelry in checked luggage on a flight from Hawaii to CA. Some was missing on arrival. No one was ever accused. Numerous TSA agents and baggage handlers have been arrested for theft from checked bags.

One thing that I check that often gets opened and inspected by TSA is a cylindrical container with fishing rods. It has to be obvious what they are on x-ray, but maybe a lot of TSA agents are fishermen and just want to see the rods.

You devil......"Kick Me"?

 

Let's just say he wished it was just "kick me"

 

You are assuming that TSA can read - probably looking in the book for pictures of unclothed ladies. Them Seated Liberty and Standing Liberty coins get a bit racy you know...

 

So thats why the lines are so long.....
