When traveling the skies, not even Hollywood stars are exempt from the rules of the TSA. On a recent trip to Australia, Kaley Cuoco got called out by airport officials for almost accidentally carrying not one, but two, dangerous objects through security.
Divulging the awkward tale on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Sept. 28, the “Big Bang Theory” actress said that en route to the land down under with boyfriend Karl Cook, airport security stopped to ask her about her handbag.

"She starts searching through, and she pulls a wine opener out of my purse. Like, a real one with arms, like the Rabbit,” Cuoco told the late night host. “And I was like, 'Oh, my God! That's a weapon.’

The staffer told the actress that the wine openers were prohibited on board, which Cuoco knew, adding that she “apparently needed to be very prepared.”

“I'm into bourbon now, probably because I can't carry a wine opener. That’s why I’m enjoying the flying thing,” she told Kimmel.
