Not a recent story, but kinda entertaining --

I had my mouthpiece in my backpadk, and sent it through the X-ray machine. I could tell that the X-ray person communicated with the baggage examiner as it rolled down the rollers out of the machine. The examiner asked if she could look inside, and I complied.

She dug around a bit, found the mouthpiece, and asked, "What is this?" I told her it was a tuba mouthpiece, and she called back to the X-ray operator, "See, I told you it was a band mouthpiece of some kind!"
