The delay was announced by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) chief John Pistole on Monday. View: Read More Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted April 23, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Small pocket knives, those things you can not buy in most countries in souvenir shops!! Personally I think people should carry what they want, but with the amount of nutters out there in our world I think its safer to leave the knives at home and if they really need it and feel it is necessary to carry one for what ever life threatening situation they feel they may encounter in which it would be needed, then they can buy one in the country they are going to on arrival. Its only a pocket knife FGS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted April 23, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 23, 2013 The thing that amused me was when they wouldn't even allow nailclippers. I mean, seriously, how does one use a nailclipper to hijack a plane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do more damage with the tray they serve the meal on than with a knife. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
