Went thru TSA checkpoint with about $8.00 in change without a problem. But this time I didn't leave coin purse in my back pack. Instead, I carried it in my pocket until going thru scanner and put it in the bucket. After it went thru xray machine, I then put it in my backpack.

OK, I feel stupid. Packing for a flight tomorrow and found my tactical knife and pen in my shaving kit. Glad I never filed a claim with TSA.

It was TSA not the airline as they put a note in my luggage that they searched it. I looked up how to file a claim with TSA, but I do not have my receipts to turn in an amount for a claim.

Last flight I took in February, my carry on laptop bag got searched for both flights and I was told on the return that it was because of the change I had in the full coin wallet that I grabbed from my car. I asked why that was a problem and was told I shouldn't carry so much change.

Same trip, TSA removed a tactical knive and pen from my checked luggage but left my swiss army knife. Both were legal to have in checked baggage per what I could find on TSA website and have not had a problem any other time I had them in checked luggage.
