1. 

   Kenji MoonfieldA passenger at Seattle's airport was asked if he had anything sharp in his bag, and he told a TSA supervisor he wasn't sure.

2. 

   Kenji MoonfieldMarlon Detweiler flies a lot, and joins us from the airport. Is that a fair answer?

3. MD

   Marlon DetweilerYes. To be fair, nobody's sure about anything in that line. They ask about my shoes, my belt, my laptop, and I just say probably.

4. 

   Kenji MoonfieldThe officer said he saw three blades and claw-like features on the X-ray. That's a lot to be unsure about.

5. MD

   Marlon DetweilerNo, I get it. The TSA's own post said it wasn't a Marvel-ous idea. I'm just saying a man can be unsure.

6. MD

   Marlon DetweilerTo be fair, I once forgot a hatchet in a gym bag.

7. 

   Kenji MoonfieldA hatchet.

8. MD

   Marlon DetweilerA small one. And this is my point. I hold up my shampoos, all under the limit, and nobody asks how I feel about them.

9. MD

   Marlon DetweilerThey ask about the sharp stuff, and then they act surprised.

10. 

    Kenji MoonfieldFox News says it was a four-inch, double-edged knife hidden in a flashlight handle. That's not a thing you forget, right?

11. MD

    Marlon DetweilerTo be fair, it's a very good flashlight. Rating that answer, I'd say seven out of ten on honesty. I'm sure about the shampoos.

12. MD

    Marlon DetweilerAsk me about the flashlight and I'll get back to you.
