The idiot couldn't tell the difference between a snapblade and a lockblade knife (basic def: One can be flicked open, the other takes some concentration to get the mechanism to release the blade).

The cop was not very nice, either, until the point at which the line of questioning revealed my mind was in the same place as it was during exam panic where I blanked on 'Name', and she finally thought to ask if I was on any medication while I attempted to keep the hyperventilation controlled.

Ha ha! You think legality matters to airport security? When you cross the border to the US with a laptop, they can copy your entire hard drive just to check and see if you've got anything on there that might be terrorist-related. A guy my brother knows works for an Australian company that had this contract with the US government, and were charged 400k for letting confidential files be copied. By the US government.
