Ready for another alarming TSA airport security lapse? Of course you are. James Beard-winning chef Paul Kahan was traveling out of Chicago-O'Hare International Airport. At security, the agents patted him down for his wallet but failed to notice four large chef knives he had accidentally placed in his carry-on luggage.
Kahan made the flight and then noticed his mistake. He is a partner at the restaurants Avec, Blackbird, Big Star and The Publican.
Anyone else alarmed?

I did that once, it was pre-9/11, but somehow the screeners missed a 12 inch chef knife. I thought I had checked it, but was in a backpack. I realized it once I was on board and kept very quiet about it.
