He's actually quite a famous chef (but I'll keep his name privy)
He recieved an engraved chef's knife from Charlie Trotter as a gift recently in Chicago. Little be known, my friend didn't know that Charlie's assistant put the knife (giftwrapped in a box with a bow)in my friend's carry-on bag. There is one significant difference between the school teacher and my friend, my friend is a republican and well i guess you could call him a millionaire. After speaking with security at O'Hare (and the guards knew who Charlie Trotter was) my friend said "flip a coin, winner gets the knife" - well there was one happy guard. My friend was delayed for about 4 hours, his luggage beat him home (which is another "no-no" nowadays) and he's not on any list - he flies constantly.
Lesson: i guess if you're not a republican with dough, then you will be harrassed - hell they would've thrown away the key with me.
