I flew into Phoenix for a few days and was staying on the 4th floor of a nice hotel with a bar/restaurant on the ground floor. Now I was eating dinner at the restaurant,but I am a late night munchies kind of guy so I bought some T.V. dinners at Wal-Mart I could pop into the microwave at 10PM. in the room. Well I realize I need a fork,so in the same store I spot 10 metal forks for $1.00. Yes 10 metal forks,one US dollar. So its time to go, look around the room so I don't Miss anything,and without thinking throw the forks in my Carry on. Put bag on X ray belt,walk through metal detector OK. "Sir please go to one side" They proceed to examine every item in my carry on.Threw away my TOOTHPASTE and allowed the METAL forks to go. WTF?
