if you call a 2.36 in blade a "knife" then you should buy a staple gun, go to compton and stop complaining.

Great news. This means I can travel with my box-cutters again!

Maybe they need another 9/11 to grow the police state?

We will feel your testicles and grope your wifes breasts and allow you to take on board the same weapons that were used to hijack some planes that flew into the twin towers.

Can anyone else see the hypocrisy with the establishment? Do they really believe that we are this stupid?

Yes...And collectively we ARE this stupid.

Its very sad but true. Most arew still caught up in the right/left wedge issues and willfully clueless about what lies beyond 15 min news segments on Fox,CNN and MSNBC- The "more informed" (and more brianwashed) maybe listen to talk radio on the way to work... Read a book? Forget about it?

-Not everyone . But collectively we are very easily manipulated and dumb.

There is also the factor of just not being able to possibly comprehend that your Nation, where Moms Apple Pie and "freedom" has been drilled into your head- Could possibly be corrupt to its core.

maybe they are allowing knives because they want another 9/11 ..

Real stupid, ban guns but allow knives on planes.

For people who are already afraid when flying, this is no comfort . lol its bad enough thinking of dropping out of the air at high speed, never mind some looney with some pocket knife who sees fit to do a little hocus-pocus and hijack the plane for some evil end.

Geesss

there are quite a few very easy ways to get knives on board, but i'm obviously not going to mention them here.

remember the shoe bomber and the underwear bomber? both on the no fly list, AND one didn't even have a passport!

i'm pretty sure they have a running file on me because every time i fly i'm "randomly" singled out for a shoe check to make sure there isn't gunpowder or other explosive residue on/in them. two different airlines used in a round trip both picked me out of my whole family.

They give you knifes to eat your food with anyway, what's the issue?

Before this you were stripped of all explosive liquids, very dangerous things like breastmilk, baby formula, water etc. Once you passed through the Insecurity section, you were fully encouraged to buy huge ammounts of duty free alcopoison.

Still surprises me how few people notice that.

Aren't they having to cut back airport security because of the sequester crap? Why would they start allowing things like knifes when there will be less security? Is this strange to anyone else?

I laughed when I first heard this story. It seems a bit absurd that they are doing this now. Not very logical.

Is the true reason logistics? I often wonder what TSA has done with all the items taken in the past. It has always made me wonder if the workers gamble them off like lost luggage. Maybe they just don't want the hassle anymore.

Not a good Idea... All to make the job of a TSA screener easier?? Really, Telling someone to drop their banned knife in the box requires too much effort?? Shame on anyone who thinks that they can carry one on a plane in the first place. Sure, some people forget but my God, how long has this rule been in place? It should be inherent by now. Just like putting on your seat belt. Check your damn pockets before heading to the flippin airport.

TSA will regret this decision down the road...

How dumber can they get? Isn't a box cutter technically a knife? Its sharp, it cuts through flesh quite well. We already had a terrorist attack where they used box cutters "knives" to hijack planes and kill our ppl. What's next for us or should I ask?
