The Transportation Security Administration, you know, those guys that make you take off your shoes at airports and don't have the common decency to at least put a rug down, has some good news for handymen and women today. Starting April 25th, they'll allow small pocket knives in carry-on luggage on planes. Here is a link to their press release.
Also...
They'll now allow previously prohibited sports equipment, such as pool cues, golf clubs, and hockey sticks. Does this sound like a hijacking attempt waiting to happen? Well, don't worry. Now Casey Jones is free to protect our airlines once again.
Joking aside, I think this is pretty good news. If I were a frequent air traveler, I imagine I would have "donated" plenty of pocket knives to the TSA over the years, including my beloved Swiss Tech Utili-key (centered in the title picture of this post). Come April 25th, you won't have to worry about that anymore.
