Tony Hawk shares funny story about encounter with TSA agent

Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk shared a funny story on Twitter Tuesday.

Hawk was in Anchorage, Alaska for what appears to be a snowboarding project and apparently had a funny encounter with a TSA agent. Here’s how it went:

TSA agent (checking my ID): "Hawk, like that skateboarder Tony Hawk!"
Me: exactly
Her: "Cool, I wonder what he's up to these days"
Me: this

That’s good. It’s also somewhat understandable why the agent didn’t recognize Hawk; he’s 48 now and even has a caution note on his Twitter bio saying “I’m old; get over it.” Still, great story.

Here’s a look at some of what Hawk was doing at the Tordrillo Mountains for some heli snowboarding.
