“If someone put gun powder inside this Rocket Blower, it can fly like a missile.”

If someone was able to bring gun powder through security in order to put it in the blower, isn't that really the problem?!

The real problem in this particular case is the smart-ass answer that the guy gave to the TSA agent. A simple explanation would most likely have circumvented the issue altogether.

"No, it cannot fly like a rocket. The company's marketing department came up with the shape and the name. What really makes it different is the filter on the air-intake end, it does a good job of cleaning my camera without spraying dust into it." tell that to an agent, I doubt it would have been confiscated.

You would think that explaining that the elderly lady in the wheel chair is very unlikely to by hiding a bomb in her diapers either but they still insisted on checking them.

That I can understand, but also remember that the Lockerbie bomb was carried by an unsuspecting girlfriend of the terrorist. It was packed into her radio.

Guess you haven't dealt with many customs/TSA agents LOL They do not listen to reason, they do not listen period. Most of them have a real complex about the 'power' their job gives them. I am not adding drama, this is how it is.

Sounds like pretty much everyone that wears a badge. Plus nightclub bouncers.
