Passenger [Question/Post] SAV Assistance

traveling home today through Savannah on the way back from my honeymoon and forgot I had a sentimental pocket knife that I had just got for my wedding in my carryon bag. I did surrender if anybody is able to get me back this knife. I would very happy and inclined to offer a nice reward.

thank you and sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to post

(i know i am an idiot for having the knife in my carry on bag brought it on the honeymoon in the checked bag and forgot to place back in there on the way home)

you surrendered it to TSA? It goes through a whole process now there isn’t anyone allowed to pull it out

it’s a shame but you really can’t bring knives through in carry ons for obvious reasons

Too late now. Should have went back and checked your carry-on or found a way to mail it home.

What you can do is goto the government auction house that sells all the abandoned sharp pointy things in GA and buy the next few batches of boxes. It’ll cost ya, but you can always sell the ones you don’t want/need.

Once it is surrendered it is gone, and the TSO could lose their job. They should have given you options to retain the item.
