Yea I used to carry a swiss army knife on my keys until i had to throw it away because they wouldn't let me on a plane with it (but they let me on during the flight coming).

Earlier this year I was on my way back from Germany and had forgotten to take my Douk Douk out of my pocket and put it in my checked bag. As soon as I put it in the tray at security I was like oh poo poo. Guy asked if I wanted to go back and put it in my checked, but I was tired and didn't want to wait in line again, and also my bag was probably already well on its way to the plane, so I told him nah gently caress it I'll miss it but I can get another. And then he was like ah OK it's fine take it with you whatever, it's cool.

Yes, I am white.

Thank you, friend!


E: So where did these tactibros take the term "operator" from?

That has been around a long time. Probably from some time in the cold war or possibly earlier, and likely related to "operative" used in a similar sense since the late 1800s, apparently. In any case it definitely predates these modern armchair commando douches.
