QUOTE Airport security confiscates flier's car key as 'prohibited item'
A passenger at Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) had his Audi car key confiscated by airport security screeners, who insisted the key was a "Prohibited item." The trouble seems to have started because of passenger Nathan Rau's standard-issue car key for his Audi, writes Joe Sharkey, business travel columnist for The New York Times (Free registration). The new Audi keys actually hold the ignition key inside a fashionable holder that's designed to minimize damage to the carrier's pockets. When ready to start the car, the driver pushes a button on the 2-inch holder and the key slides out. Of course, to the screeners at DFW, Rau's key seemed awfully similar to a switchblade.

I have experienced many travel oddities as I have been on a plane from a very early age to the point that travelling on planes just sickens me to be honest. Some of these odd occasions include my trip from Trinidad to Argentina (See Blog), seeing a chess match take place while a plane is landing (See BWIA thread), and watching a woman sit in the yoga position the entire one hour flight.
