ok folks, i will preface this by admitting that i was careless and lazy but heres what happened....
got stopped at airport security last week. lets just say a combination of many bad factors were not in my favour that day on my way home... i woke up late, packed quickly, missed 1 flight, got booked on another which immediately put me in th "SSSS" que at security as a security risk and got the full search.
security found 2 very small brass cased items (around 115gr in weight and about 9mm wide) in the bottom nook/cranny of my bag. needless to say i was shocked and they werent happy... apparantly the 2 items slipped out of a value box of 100 last week...well, the funny part was that i didnt get stopped on the outbound flight , it was on my return. the not so funny part was that the cops came. luckily, it was pretty low profile, they just asked me to step out of line so noone there was effected etc...TSA tohught it was pretty funny and realised that i didnt seem like much of a threat and the quantity was less than threatening. cops gave me a lecture and ran me thru the computer etc. they left and i appologised profusely. Head TSA guy said he understood it was an honest mistake but said in light of their failure at an inspection/test that morning he needed to write up an incident report. i asked what was going to happen, he said probably a mean letter from DHS and possibly a fine..i can deal with that , i messed up...i want to know if this could get worse? the cops walked away without doing anything but making sure iw asnt wanted...is a summons to court possible? loss of my LTCF?? again, i realise i deserve what i get but am hoping it wont be all that bad
