As you read this, I’ll be making my way to my son’s graduation from Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Fort Moore, Georgia. After 10 weeks of basic training and 12 weeks at OCS, he’ll be a newly commissioned officer in the United States Army.

The forecast calls for snow and ice for most of the day, so the 20 minute drive from our hotel to Fort Moore might turn into a 2 hour drive because, well, it’s Georgia and the state effectively shuts down before a single snowflake has hit the ground.

Am I allowed to bring a snow brush and ice scraper through airport security?
