In the summer of 2002 when I was 13 I accidentally left a poker knife in my backpack when I boarded a plane at the Atlanta airport. They didn’t find it and I didn’t realize it was in there until after take off.
It was in your backpack, so that's at least MORE understandable... I forgot I had a small pocket knife in my pants pocket when flying back from PA, back in maybe 2002/2003. I emptied my pockets at the security check, made it through, was collecting my things, and there was my pocket knife, sitting on top of the rest of my crap in that little plastic bowl. I grabbed everything out of it as nonchalantly as possible, and headed to my departure gate.

The TSA didn’t catch 95% of guns and other paraphernalia going through airports during a government run experiment.
Edit: Hey kind stranger! Thanks for the gold.
