Last time I traveled I picked up two packs of matches while in Seattle
at some of their nice restaurants.  When I flew back, something detected
the two packs of matches in my suitcase.  They cut the cheap lock off of
it and went through my bag until they found the two packs and removed
them.  They left me a nice note about with a box checked for "forbidden
items removed" or something like that and the filled in "2 packs
matches".

That is in sharp contrast to when I traveled in 92 and carried a machete
in a backpack onto a plane with no problem while coming back to the US
from Montserrat.  Customs in Puerto Rico even looked at it and I said it
was a souvenir.

So as someone else here said, Security Shmurity
