19. My then 80-something mom was pulled out of line in Orlando...
She had a nail file in her carry-on baggage not long after 9-11. The x-ray caught it; she had to go to another table where her bag was checked by hand. The security person told her they'd have to take it; she said it was her favorite nail file (a vintage one...they were well-made years ago). The security guard let her keep it.
On the way to the plane, I told her it had been all over the news people couldn't take nail files on the plane. She's a news junkie, so I was surprised she didn't know about it. Then when we reached our destination and unpacked, I discovered that I had manicure scissors in my carry-on (never gave it a thought when I packed) and the x-ray failed to spot it.
