TSA Will Permit Knives, Golf Clubs on U.S. Planes - Bloomberg
Do you guys think this is a good idea? I see this as another way to cut cost. Less man power, more money saved.
My current carry knife seems to be compliant, except that it takes utility blades. Everyone who has seen it considers it a box cutter, which the TSA still won't permit due to emotional connections. Then again, I only fly once every two years or so.
The U.S. Transportation Security Administration will let people carry small pocketknives onto passenger planes for the first time since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, along with golf clubs, hockey sticks and plastic Wiffle Ball-style bats.
The agency will permit knives with retractable blades shorter than 6 centimeters (2.36 inches) and narrower than 1/2 inch, TSA Administrator John Pistole said today at an aviation security conference in Brooklyn. The change, to conform with international rules, takes effect April 25.
