'Petty airport security overdoes it': Power-tripping airport security employee has to "bite his tongue" after traveler outsmarts him

If you've ever flown on a budget like this couple, you know that you've got to pack as light as possible.

Some airlines will let you fly for a double-digit price, and you think to yourself, "What a fantastic deal!" Sure, you may have long layovers or have to fly at 3 AM, but you're saving so much money! But once you read the fine print, you may realize that you're stuck. That airline is only going to let you bring a bag and a personal item, and they're going to be very strict about the measurements and weight of those items. They have to keep their costs low somehow, so they'd rather make their customers pay extra to bring luggage instead of factoring that cost into the ticket.

So, you find yourself trying to pack shirts as flat as possible, or rolling up your clothing as tight as you can. You might have to wear three pairs of socks or layer up four shirts in order to get through TSA with all of your belongings! Packing light is an art form, and if you scroll down, you can read about the way this person got through security with their own light baggage.

Next up, read the eye-opening tale of the teenage concession stand by overcharging 5,000 people, revealing that they made $3,000 extra!
