In the mid-nineties I traveled from Delaware to Utah to work on a house with a
friend for just a weekend.  All I had was a carry-on and I had a couple of my
trusty tools in the bag - among them a great checkered wooden handled 20 oz rip
claw hammer, maker forgotten at this point.

I was told I couldn’t take the hammer on board and that the attendant would keep
it for me to pick up when I got back.  He stuck it under his desk.  Wouldn’t you
know it was still there when I got back!
