TSA to Allow Pocket Knives On Planes
 

TSA to Allow Pocket Knives On Planes

This isn't allowed in the Geno Smith Lounge dude, you should know better.

hell ya .....

Only if you have your whittling chip.

As someone who has snuck a pocket knife onto a couple planes and shipped one to myself on more than one occasion, this is welcome news. Hooray budget crisis!

Blades less than 6cm. That's ~2.3". I don't own a blade that small.....

So I can bring a knife on the plane but not a large bottle of shampoo??? Our government, ladies and gents!

explosives

And we still have to be shoe scanned.

“Continued prohibition of these items is an integral layer in making our aviation system secure and must remain in place,” the statement said. “As the last line of defense in the cabin and key aviation partners, we believe that these proposed changes will further endanger the lives of all Flight Attendants and the passengers we work so hard to keep safe and secure.”

Really? Prior to 9/11, were flight attendants and pilots being stabbed left and right? Were planes hijacked on a weekly basis? Plain stupidity and based solely on emotion vs facts.

I never use mine. Does that make me a woman?

Better outlaw forks while they're at it.

I just want to keep my damn shoes and belt on when I go through security. That's all I ask. And maybe let me take a look at the body scanner of the hot bitch in front of me?

Yeah lol, even though it was supposedly blades that allowed 911 to occur.

'Merica?

Well of course the airport employees union would say that, they are trying to justify the existance of their employees worthless pieces of tax dollar wasting lazy worthless shit****s that do absolutely nothing but drain money under the disguise of safety. Free-loading pieces of shit.

Fixed it myself for me. :D

"up to two golf clubs"

My golf game sucks bad enough trying to use all my damn clubs

because a bottle of shampoo might have enough explosive to blow shit up


so there is a big difference

Yeah a bottle of shampoo MIGHT have explosives, but a small knife WILL allow someone to kill pilots and fly a commercial airliner into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

it will?

someone can't take out a dude with a 2 inch knife? i think now people are a little more on the lookout / more willing to do something about a hijack

:harumph:

2 inch knife, boxcutter..WTF is the difference?

if someone is hijacking a plane, i'll take on a dude with a tiny knife

I got my little keychain pocket knife taken by those bastards ( I hadn't flown in like 10 years) a few years ago because I simply forgot it was on my keys. Almost got arrested when I argued with the fat assed TSA guy and told him to enjoy using my knife.

I would hope so....

a small knife isn't getting someone pass the steel door to the cockpit.


a shampoo bottle of explosives might


or it could just blow a hole in the plane and decompress everything

this is monumental gov't legislation.

Until a terrorist puts a small knife to a woman or child's throat and says open this door or we spill some blood.

then the pilot just calls Jack Bauer or Chuck Norris

Well yeah, obviously. I didn't think about that. They should just clone Jack Bauer and Chuck Norris and have one or two of them on every plane. Problem solved.

You must have beautiful hair if you are so :harumph: over shampoo. lol

I think this is stupid as hell of them to do and this country clearly has no leadership anymore. They should have just left this alone, but Obama is trying to blow smoke up everyones ass about the cutbacks.

Are they going to have a little measuring device now, mounted to the body scanner area similar to a fish go/no go slot gauge for your knife blade?

Nope, your knife is 2 1/2 inches long, gotta keep it. Some how I hope this country survives the next 3 1/2 years.

She can stick me with that any time. :whackit:

thankfully we're till safe from box cutters and nail clippers

WTF is wrong with the idiots running the country?

:rolleyes:

Anyone who has seen castaway knows this is a good idea.

They couldn't grip a small child's throat with their fists before this?

I bet I can cause more damage more quickly crushing the larynx of a kid before a 6 cm knife could get to a carotid.

I'd smash a terrorist with a 3 day old ham sammich if they did that, but then again, I'm the kind of guy who wears condoms full of bumble bees for the sport of it.

Carried a steak knife in my carry on for 4 years before it was found. I had forgot it was there. Yeah, I feel safe.
