BTW your an awesome granny getting ya grandaughter those cool gifts!

Thank you. She is an awesome granddaughter. She works hard and has a tough life so we like to help her out when we can. I found out at 4th of July family reunion that she likes to smoke a cigar to relax on the weekend and it just made a perfect gift. She has good taste, too. I told her to pick out any cigar in my humis to smoke and she chose an Opus X...dang, I thought I had those hidden

So true! Bastiges!

Maybe someone needs to throw a Cutter Party for the granddaughter?

Already taken care of, Joan. The jungle is an awesome place. But I am counting on the PNW gang to get her to a herf!

That being said many of the TSA are not your sharpest pencils in the box but they have authority and power and I am sure they have the final say in what is dangerous even when it is not on their list. I had a friend that was travelling with her 3 children one way and they pulled her youngest who was 2 into the back for a complete search and would not let her and her other children come in.

I am sure it was awful for your grand daughter to loose a gift even if it only cost $2.

Not letting a parent witness their child's search is outright BS. Who knows what those people were doing? I hope those folks got fired over that.

I bet she could find the Blueberry* Herf Garage in Seattle.
Hmmm.... the BHG has an open day on Saturday, 9/27.

My friend SB showing off what herf n wrench parties there might look like:
