On a high school trip to New Orleans with our school bands, the airport
security people kept asking me to "open" the bass amp because "there are
a lot of electronics in there". I asked for a set of screwdrivers, a
drill and a hacksaw, and a written and signed statement that they really
wanted me to do that so we could get a new bass amp with the insurance
money. They changed their mind.
A cousin of mine went on a cross-border shopping excursion with some of
her friends in their rusty ol' Volkswagen Beetle, and on the way back
they were stopped, searched, and the driver's sandals were seized
because of their weight (they were made from a pair of steel-belted
tractor tires). The customs people were convinced that the sandals were
filled with something smuggleable, and proceeded to chop them into fine
little sections, finding nothing but some very hard to cut steel belt.
Finally, they relented, gave the driver back his sandals in little
pieces and then stopped them again when they got back into the car to
leave, because the driver had no shoes on. He said, "Of course I don't
have shoes on, you just cut my shoes into little pieces!" Unfortunately
none of the passengers had valid driver's licenses on them, and they
were forced to call for a ride back to the base...because they were all
Canadian military.
