Airport Security Didn't Like my FOB

You know what they say about a man with a big fob.....

In an ironic twist of fate, I made my fob smaller by putting the working guts only (sans physical key--hidden on rig, but chip present) in a tiny box because of the OEM size, and from the look of it, if I were a TSA agent, even I, in absence of knowledge to the contrary, might wonder if this was some home made device apt to cause violence in an airplane's cabin--which of course it is not.

(The black double stick tape inside is there to flatten some contours.)

Absolutely, I've flown 10+ times with it in the same pocket before and never had a problem. Just thought it was funny that they didn't look at anything else in the bag, just the one with the giant FOB. It was good for a laugh at the time.

I also used to notice that it was setting off the alarms in certain stores when I first had it which was odd. Hasn't happened for a while now though. Might have been something else.

Same here. I’ve flown 9 times since I’ve had mine, including 2 international flights, and never had security question it or take a second look. On the other hand, they had all sorts of questions about a sealed package of roasted cashews...go figure.

Also, as far as the folks in this room complaining about them being “anal” in airport security. What short memories you guys have. These people have done an excellent job in keeping us safe flying and you complain about extra bag checks? Unbelievable.

I'd recommend researching the effectiveness of TSA. The time and money wasted on this program is shameful. I typically read up on it everytime I have to take my shoes off so others can "feel" safe.

I wonder if Jeep Cares is reading these postings about the fob and saying; "Okay, okay we get it." "Hey Carla, they don't like the big ass fob you designed."

That’s why I registered for the TSA pre-check.

No line, no problems.

Cause I can do that lol

Perks of the job

Is that (3) pieces of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal?

: - ) It's adhesive backed cork that aligns with the lock and unlock buttons ….the cork in the upper left hand corner allows me to establish tactile orientation without having to take the thing out of my pocket.
