TSA Will Permit Knives, Golf Clubs on U.S. Planes

[1slow01Z71]

The TSA is broken anyway. I always carry a full size spyderco knife and have been for so long I dont even think about it anymore. It has a wire pocket clip thats dark so its hard to tell I jave a knife against dark jeans. On my way back from Vegas I made it all the way through security and to my gate before I realized I had it on me. Its a pretty dang good sized knife and wasnt picked up by any of their equipment. Needless to say I dont feel too comfortable about my safety on a plane as far as the fearless TSA thwarting any attacker.

Also, I can't help but take exception to the way you spelled accept ("except"). J/K

You just have to "except" it!

Did the tsa finally realize pilots have guns on the flight deck?

I don't understand the length restriction on the baseball bats. A shorter bat would be easier to swing in the confines of an airplane. And they allow longer hockey sticks, pool cues, and lacrosse sticks.

That's because you're looking at the TSA all wrong. They don't do anything except accustom the public to doing as they're told. They're a security joke.

The bats they are allowing are those little miniature souvenir bats you get a the ballpark. Not going to do much damage with one of those. The longer ones, that are allowed due to their light weight are wiffle ball bats, hollow plastic that would not be a good choice as a weapon.

However anyone who has ever broken a head off a golf club will tell you that could be a dangerous weapon to run someone through with.

I'm personally happy about them allowing knives now. I travel a lot, and feel naked without my gun and knife. At least I'll only feel half naked now.

Glad a 2in knife covers your nakedness.......... :-)
