If you can fly it, TSA will thieve it. Keep an eye on E-Bay.

Jalopnik: Ford Built An Engine So Small They Were Able To Send It Through Airport Security TSA Could Steal It

So, kudos to Ford for having balls big enough to bring a genuinely small engine to Big America, and more kudos to TSA for not doing the expected freaking out and closing the airport because something metallic and unknown showed up.​

​

I just feel bad for the poor bastard trying to drag a V8 through security for the control group​

 

It's not a weapon, explosive, or incendiary. It's just a block of metal that probably weighs less than one of my ex-girlfriend's overstuffed rollaboards. Why should I be happy that it was allowed through?

Oh, right.

9/11 Changed Everything™

 

I bet if they sent 10 through TSA security they'd only get 9 back.
