Some good ones last year, as well as some sad. All in all a good year. My favorite true story that brought tears to my eyes from laughing at the absurdity of it. Told by a reporter boarding a plane with troops coming home from Iraq.

You mean that was really in print. I gotta know what it was published in...
Kind of like the first step in falling down a ladder.

Factcheck.org and other sites deny the factuality of the nail clipper story.
Happy New Year. I'm loading up my arsenal and heading off to defend Michigan from invading Canadians.

Yeah I have a hard time believing that one. Funny story, but as far as I know troops don't travel on commercial flights carrying weapons. Unloaded weapons can be carried on commercial flights, but for obvious reasons they have to be declared and carried in checked baggage. Under no circumstances are they carried into the cabin. When soldiers do travel with weapons it is on chartered or military aircraft where they are not subject to TSA security procedures.
I travelled commercial airlines too and from saudi arabia.I forget the outgoing airline because i was not real happy to be boarding it but our return trip was on Panama Airlines.On neither flight did we have our weapons.They were turned into the armory seargeant before we left.what was done with them or how they got back I do not know.They may have been somewhere on the plane or may have come back on the boat with the trucks but we did not have them though in 91 no one was in the least concerned with our nail clippers.Besides a true grunt can trim his nails with a survival knife or bayonnet(also not on board with us) so we just had to chew em on the way back.
