Cheese has slid off TSA's cracker
 

From the YGTBSM file....the TSA is relaxing the ban on certain items allowed on planes starting in April. Pocket knives (meeting size criteria), golf clubs, hockey sticks and lacrosse sticks will be allowed in cabins. The reason given is this will allow TSA screeners to concentrate on detecting explosives. :eek: :rolleyes:

Pretty sure blades shorter than 3" have been allowed for several years. The rest of the sports gear is no big deal. Pretty sure the cockpit door is hockey stick proof.

NO Knives according to the TSA site.

About freakin' time.

I'd kill to be able to carry a pocketknife again...:)

I mean I'd be very supportive of such a policy change, not that I'd actually cause the death of any human or animal to bring it about.
(Except kittens. Yeah, a few more wouldn't be a problem for me)

except for pocket knives, who cares?

Well, that's great for you on your side of the door but what about the crew BEHIND it as well as passengers who could very easily fall victim to a psycho.

Hmmm, when going through security 3-4 years ago, after driving to vacation, but then flying to work, my swiss army golfer got their attention (I forgot I had it packed). They looked it up in their binder and their list said two contradictory things: One was knives shorter than 3" were allowed. The other said "no blades." Either way, whatever...

Not to sound any more realistic than I have to, but there are two sides of the door and they are treated quite differently for obvious reasons.

Plenty of other things that psychos can use back there. I can swing a guitar with the best of the 90's grunge rockers. ;)
