Open Thread: Should Small Pocketknives Be Permitted On Board Planes?
The TSA just relaxed the rules on what is permitted on board planes. Now we are allowed to bring small pocket knives and some sporting equipment such as ski poles or lacrosse sticks. Are you in favor of the TSA’s decision to allow small pocket knives on board? Do you think this makes flyers safer? Or do you think this is riskier? The Coalition of Flight Attendant Unions and George Randall Taylor, head of the air marshal unit of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, have spoken out against this new policy, specifically against allowing small knives on board during flights.
From Freedom Outpost:
I think it was determined that at least some of the 9/11 hijackers used utility knives. Don’t utility knives lock into place? If so, they still wouldn’t be allowed on board. Although I am also unsure as to why a knife that does or does not lock into place would determine whether it’s allowed on the plane. I mean I thought pocketknives had a lock position as well as an unlocked position. Although, I’m sure there are many different kinds of pocketknives.

Small knives? Hell, bring machetes, but hand them out to the passengers as they enter. Nobody dares screw up knowing that every passenger has one. I’d feel lafer!
What about water bottles filled with water? We can’t have that now can we!!!!!!!!!
I am in full agreement with you. It’s ridiculous that we’re not allowed to bring bottles filled with water on board planes. But we can have small knives. That doesn’t make sense.
