Speaking of instruments and the TSA, the first few times I flew with a brass instrument I accidentally forgot to remove my [over-the-limit] ounces of lubricant with explosive vapors, as well as the large blade I use for cutting strings and other instrument maintenance. After that I started doing it on purpose just to prove to myself that if I wanted to become a terrorist it would take less than zero effort to just hide everything in a French Horn. It’s such a pathetic joke, and you’re right that the Taliban won.
