I was going through airport security. Already set my bags on the scanner and, before I stepped into the X-Ray machine, I slapped my pockets just to be sure they were empty.
Oh no.
My brand new, $200 Pax 3 was in there. Crap! What should I do? I thought, take it back out to the car! But car was 20 minutes away in remote lot. I didn't know what the rules were. Pictures went through my mind of being taken into the back room and asked more questions. A person my age! It would be most embarrassing. At best.
Sadly, I stepped back and dropped it into a trash can. The next day, I read on the Internet, they are allowed in your carry on bag!! Without any restricted substances of course. So, I could have kept it, now I know. I guess better safe than sorry, but what a dummy.
