Tinfoil isn’t really a thing anymore. What is used now is aluminum foil. And I’m pretty sure it’s visible in X-rays and also will be picked up by metal detectors.

Flying regulary for my job from Geneva Swiss Airport, I often forgot it and each time was obliged to leave it to the police officer. By chance, when and if returning, you’ve the possibility to keep it back as they put it in an enveloppe with your name and flight number as proof. Leave a 300 or 500€ knife 4 or 5 times a year in an airport, I can’t afford !

Really Wilson, that is the most insight you had after the article? We could pick apart 200 different things and you chose “tinfoil”? #youboredmuch

I prominantly placed my small Swiss Army knife with my keys and watch in those small bins, and flew a dozen times before I mentioned how nice it is to have a knife when I travel (to be used as a tool of course) when my dad said “no they changed that!”. I stopped carrying it emediatly, whoops.

That’s awesome they didn’t make a big deal out of it. It happens to a lot of people, but some security personnel will call the police if you accidentally brought your knife somewhere they aren’t permitted.

I did the same thing! I didn’t realize I even had it until the nice security folks at the world trade center asked me why I had a knife in my wallet… I had completely forgotten! Not exactly sure how long it was in there, but I know I went through airport security at least four times without getting flagged… Maybe TSA should be taking pointers from the security personnel at the new One World Trade Center building. Kudos to them for 1) finding it and 2) being VERY professional when they did! I was able to pick up my knife from the security desk on my way back down from the observation deck. Overall a great experience!
