How do you just ignore the manufacturer’s warning and do this?

Stupidity.

That’s the answer 90% of the time.

In her checked bag, no big deal.

I once brought about 10 bottles (big ones, about 24 oz each) of local craft beer with me on a Southwest flight — because 2 free checked bags, why not?!

When we got there, all of them were taped together with “TSA inspected” tape because honestly, that much explosive would be more than enough to take down a plane. I’m sure the agents got a good scare/chuckle out of that.

If you read the TSA blog or follow their instagram, you’ll see people do dumb shit like this all the time.

Here’s a BWI carry on from their most recent week in review post :

Of course, head up to Alaska, and you can find people who are much, much dumber:

I remember this from Shark Tank. I went to the company’s twitter page and they are doing the right thing by calling out that people are ignoring their warnings, but the CEO seems like a real piece of work, should work well with the crowd that buys this kind of stuff

DailyCaller. Classy.

I got married in Florida, where my wife grew up, but we lived in Virginia. My wife (fiance, then) flew down a few days earlier, but called me last minute and asked me to bring down the cake trowel set that a close friend had given her at a bridal shower. The fancy spatula was in a box with a clear plastic window to see what it looked like. Ok, threw it in my carry-on, no problem. Go through security, it SHUTS DOWN. Very serious people come over and start asking me very pointed questions, like “is this my bag (yup), did I pack it (sure did), has it been in your possession the entire time (absolutely). I then realized that maybe there was a knife in that cake set. Turns out i had been trying to sneak a 12 inch serrated blade onto a plane in my carry-on.  Thank god for all the frilly ribbons on it, they bought my story and let me go check the bag.  Damn near got arrested for that.
