I pity any terrorist (not really) who tries to take over a plane with a pair of toenail clippers these days.

I like to carry a leatherman tool. I used to have it in my carry-on all the time. i don't think it would get through even with these new regs.

What the article doesn't mention is the overwhelming buildup of evidence that the passengers will kick the crap out of anyone attempting a takeover. I still contend that "dual use" items such as small knives, scissors, and tools should be REQUIRED prior to boarding and if you don't have any, they should issue you duct tape or cable ties.

they never find my lighters in my carry-on suitcase... only if I leave the lighter in my laptop bag.
To: xjcsa
They've always allowed tools....It seems like there's always one sitting next to me.

This is good, they need to be looking for terrorists, not scrutinizing every little object brought on board. Heck, I could kill you with my metal-barrel pen, but I can't bring nail clippers on board. How much sense does that make? You'll never be able to screen out all potential weapons because there are tons of everyday objects that could be used as weapons. The Sept. 11th attackers were already on terror watch-lists but they were allowed to board because of stupid bureacratic policies.

I could have used this change about a month ago. I had to visit a client to service a piece of equipment. I had forgotten that Norm Mineta was once worried that someone might attempt to use hand tools to disassemble the aircraft in flight.

Don't really need my little swiss in flight but I'm sick of forgeting it's on my keychain and having the TSA nitwits take it.

Not very likely. Until I can take my folding knife and leatherman onboard I am still not convinced.

I think that American travellers are itchin' for another towel-head takeover attempt on a plane.
