TSA is largely just security theater anyways.

As someone who flies weekly, this is true.

I always carry my wallet in my hand every time I go through security. Never an issue. In fact, before I knew you could do this, a TSA security employee told me I could. This was several years ago.

Fast forward to a random week, about 6 weeks ago, and I was told I couldn't carry my wallet through the scanner, because I might have a switchblade in it that is concealed. Incredbile. They literally just make shite up when they want. Since that time, I carry my wallet with me through the security scanner, no issues whatsoever.

And if they want to take a look inside my wallet, I have no problem with that. The thing that frustrates me is that there appears to be no defined standard, even though I'm sure it is on paper somewhere for TSA employees to learn and not enough consistency.
