A Gas-filled Chainsaw (That Made It Through Security)
Once when I was doing random searches at the international gate at San Francisco Airport I found a chainsaw. Yep, someone managed to get their chainsaw past the x-ray and almost onto the plane. He was pretty surprised when I told him he couldn’t take it on the plane. It was full of gas too, so I couldn’t even do a gate check of his bag. This was shortly after 9/11, I don’t think they do the random gate searches anymore.
