3/15/2003: Airport security's taken items

So why would a person take a garden trowel on an airplane? Perhaps he was a Shrubber, as in Roger the Shrubber.

About a month after the Sept. 11 incident I had to fly on business and forgot that I had a little Swiss Army knife on my key chain. I stood around not far from the security check point trying to figure out what to do with my knife and decided to take it off my key ring and stick it in the plastic plant mulch in the lobby.

3 days later when I got back I went to the fake tree and dug into the mulch and got back my knife.

Which brings up a good point. How about a storage business at the airports that secures your item until you return.
