    Dildos and Manifestos

    I've always wanted to pack a carry-on bag with a couple dozen flourescent-colored dildos and a dozen different editions of the Communist Manifesto. I'd be sure to put something actually prohibited at the very bottom, probably a huge bottle of lube.

    I think I could pull it off. I'd be sure to say, "Please, sir (or madam), be careful with that dildo! It has great sentimental value", several times at a louder than normal volume.
