Jeesh! Thanks for the warning to put keys into checked baggage!

Just on more reason I wont fly. Little by little we are losing our freedoms in the U.S.
 

I am suprised they didnt thing the keys transmitter was a bomb.

Yeah, but what happens when they lose your luggage and your stranded in the parking lot!

Erm...never happened to me however I do keep my keys in my laptop bag..>>
 

and mind you I have went through the "special screening" quite a few times....
My name and last minute ticket booking is an apparent give away!

werd!!

Could just take the valet key only.

It was just a mistake by a stupid airport worker...

Hmmm... hide the plastic key where the sun don't shine? ;)

I dont think this story is ture...
 

...and if it is, the TSA screeners and management at DFW are completly retarded. I work for TSA and i take my key in everyday, plus all the other "switchblade" keys i see during the day and i can tell you, it is not a problem and if that ever happends to you guys, ask to speak with a manager because we cant take it from you, i mean we could, but at least you have the option to put it in your check in baggage if it was a blade under 3 inches.
