Mods, if there is a better section for this I do apologize.

A friend of mine on a recent business trip failed to properly sanitize his usual carry on (he's a frequent traveler). He made it through security and settled in for the next hour to wait for his flight. As he reached into his bag to retrieve a phone charger, he found a mag pouch that contained a loaded magazine. At this point several thoughts went through his mind, namely how did TSA let this through. Imagine what a loaded magazine looks like on an x-ray machine!

My friend contemplated several options:
- Throw the entire thing in a trash can and move on
- Go ahead and board his flight and take care of the issue when he landed (in my opinion, making the situation potentially worse).
- Take the shuttle back to his truck to properly stow the magazine.

My friend opted to go back to his vehicle and stow the magazine as he had plenty of time to get back.

I was actually pretty appalled to know that this happened. Of all the worthless tasks you see performed by TSA, something like this actually gets through.

Moving forward, my friend will keep a bag dedicated for his carry on.

What would you have done in this situation?
