I just flew to Newark and back this weekend (commercial) and when packing
discovered a package of firecrackers that have been in the bag on two
commercial trips and not been discovered on either swab test. On the way
back, the screeners discovered my BuckTool (like a Leatherman, it's a
folding multi-tool with two 7-8 cm long knife blades) that I'd totally
forgotten about and which had been in my bum bag on the trip out.

Are you always unaware of the contents of your luggage?

If you spent every other weekend in a hotel room in another country,
usually travelling by car or private plane, you, like me, would probably
pack a bag with essentials (tooth brush, comb, ibuprophen, mag light,
porn) and just swap out clothes as needed. If you did so, eventually
after several years, it would accumulate things you'd forgetten were
there.
