‘I’m gonna have to have security come over and arrest you’: New York woman starts carrying knife. Then she forgets she has it—until she goes through TSA

Nothing says “welcome to New York” like accidentally trying to board a plane armed. A woman on TikTok is going viral after confessing she was unaware of the pocketknife in her bag. Why did she have a pocketknife? Her dad gifted it to her for protection when she moved to New York alone. Except, TSA found it while she was checking in for a flight.

Standing there terrified, she says the agent calmly told her, “Ma’am, I’m gonna have to have security come over and arrest you.” Apparently, bringing along her emotional-support knife on a trip doesn’t exactly fly.
