By Paul KersteinWe’ve all had our horror-story experiences when going through airport security checkpoints. But I wanted to share this particular saga from Chuck Muth, who relates the absurdity of certain policies that travelers must endure.And while I think the TSA is doing a great job considering everything it has to deal with and the massive numbers of people still flying, I can relate.Security expert Bruce Schneier is also not too fond of airport security. There’s an interesting post on his blog about someone who bested TSA procedures to smuggle a pet fish. And if you happen to be traveling this holiday season, make sure you check TSA’s Website for what you can and cannot bring with you, and where you can pack it.Have any experiences you want to share?
