'Raising Hope' Actor Garret Dillahunt Sneaks Knife Through TSA, Tweets About It

If you're a fan of 'stupid thief' videos, then this is right up your alley. While on route to catch a flight, 'Raising Hope' actor, Garret Dillahunt, made a sharp pass through airport security, bringing with him some strictly off-limits contraband -- a small hunting knife.
"Oops. Walked right through airport security with this little number," Dillahunt
tweeted on Monday afternoon along with a twitpic of the knife in his hand.
Although he got through security scot-free with the weapon, we're not sure that tweeting about his stealth move is going to get him any frequent flyer miles, or even a seat on the plane.
"Arrest this tweeter!" Rain Wilson
tweeted in response to his pal's seemingly gloating feat.
Not grasping the potential gravity of his TSA tisk tisk, Dillahunt responded to Wilson, "If I ever get outta this there will be a reckoning. It was a misTAKE, all right? I'm a whittler, plain and simple."
Stay tuned for the forthcoming headline: 'Garret Dillahunt Ejected from Flight for Carrying Weapon.'

Maybe if he'd been wearing an adult diaper, then they might've found it.

That or if he was traveling with a child.
Indeed. I have occsionally forgoten my sturdy little (less than 1-1/4" blade pocket knife and have breezed through security. However, I now have an artifical knee, with a 15" scar, and of course, sicne it sets off the alarms, I get patted down EVERY TIM. Now, I am 63, have had 14 surgeries, and don't quite fit the "image" of a person of interest. THis "pseudo" security has got to be changed. I flew back and forth to Taiwan recently and the only place I had issues was the US--
who???

Doesn't matter who. Instead of bashing the guy and pretending not to know who he is. I'd be a bit more concerned how he got a knife through security. How many years and years it's been and we still don't have good airport security. Haha...WHAT A JOKE !!
Raising Hope=funniest show on tv.
He looks like Peter Krause.
Exactly...Who is this, and what is raising hope?
I don't know who he is and it doesn't matter much. I am guessing he is a performer of some sort. I am also sure and damn certain I am not going to believe a thing is true just because he says it is true. Folks in that line of work will do anything for a few minutes of attention.
There's a great article on Dillahunt I found right here on this site by Ben Trivett. They seemed to like him okay that day.
Doesn't this prove, all this "feel me all over to make sure I am not carrying anything illigal on board"
"and dont forget to feel my depends, and oh yes, dont forget to feel my 6 yr. old grand baby all over too.......and oh yes, remember to feel my tiny infant grand baby".........is just a bunch of GOVERNMENT rules........to keep us in line.
"just stay behind the white line until told to move and then, move forward to edge and ..............jump!
If a bad guy wants to be bad...............he will find a way. Here is proof. Here is a good guy.....and he got thru with a KNIFE!

Now if he was wearing an adult diaper as that 95 year old woman recently went through TSA, he would have got caught

Geez he must be as dumb as the character he plays on that show.

It's better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to tweet up and remove all doubt!

My word! This was a monumentally stupid admission. He brings increased pressure on TSA to do even more outrageous searches, and probably risks prosecution.

He should have used it on the arrogant basturds!

The guy's an Idiot. That's just what the traveling public needs, some moron movie actor pissing off these room temperature IQ TSA agents.

and yet they took off an adult diaper from a 95 year old citizen. Do we need any more proof that the current way of groping and naked pics dont work?? How did he get thru the scanner with it?? Oh wait.....maybe he was one of the thousands that dont get scanned. The scanners seem reserved for young women while the Muslim men walk on by.
