    lol yeah that’s all nothing.

    Except the bottle openers, “you can’t bring that on a plane” is perfectly fine. But you don’t need to play make believe that it’s some big bust either. Just let her throw it away or leave and get someone to take it for her or whatever and move on.

      The 82 “fireworks” is absolutely hilarious. It looks like the just separated one string of fire crackers. The headline had me expecting a backpack bristling with rockets and blades.
