I once carried my actual knife (Schrade CH7) into the airport while traveling with my parents (pre 9/11), and I was allowed to take the knife on the plane, since the blade was "under 3 inches" (which it isn't).
As an explanatory back-story, I am not from the city. Carrying a knife is normal where I come from. I was less than 10 years old.
- hga 11y agoHeh, I once carried my late '70s manufacture Gerber Mark I boot knife (http://www.thegerberknives.com/mark.html http://www.thegerberknives.com/mark.html see bottom) in carry on luggage in the mid-1980s, PEOPLExpress Airlines was in a hurry and didn't want to check baggage on that flight (very streamlined, e.g. you paid by cash or credit card during the flight). I showed it (sheathed) to the guy saying "Uhhh..." and I guess he thought correctly I wasn't going to be a problem and waved me on.
