It's about time we started showing some courage again. A keychain multitool, one of the tiny Swiss Army knives, and the like simply are not credible weapons. To ban them simply isn't rational, and it's time that we as a society moved on from this trauma-by-proxy.
- gte910h 14y agoThe FA's point is that the 9/11 attacks were done with BOXCUTTERS. I understand why they think these knives are still an issue, but I think the training doctrine of "don't obey the hijackers" has changed all that.

- yogo 14y ago+1. I think they have made a fortune from selling Swiss Army Knifes that were attached to keys--it's very easy to forget removing those before heading through security. Anyway I've always thought that was much easier to make a quick weapon by breaking something made of a hard plastic that's allowed on board (e.g. lid of a laptop). In fact a solid enough pen can often be more dangerous than the tiny Swiss Army Knives because it is easier to grip and use in a more forceful way. Great to hear that pool cues will be allowed again :D. Nothing annoys players more than having to checking their cues especially when they are really expensive.
