I received a ‘prohibited item notification’ from the TSA, how fucked am I? Hi folks…I had foam nun-chucks in my carry on. I’m a stage performer. They were separateded and effectively a toy.

I already feel like an idiot but would prefer to avoid monetary penalties if possible. submitted by /u/nadiashebang …

this may be a dumb question but is it worth it to get TSA pre-check? I haven’t flown in a long time but I’m going to start traveling a lot more now. Do a ton of people use pre-check, making their lines just as long as the regular lines? or is it noticeably faster? submitted by /u/Candid_Option3608

The supplier was very ap…
