What a nation of sissies we have become, afraid of a little knife. I always used to carry my Swiss Army Knife on-board, to fight off the Muslim terrorists if need be. Now, everyone’s quivering and cowering, and I won’t fly anymore in this “brave new world.”

When I was a kid I used to go to summer camp up in Maine. It was considered "cool" for the campers to own their own axes for chopping firewood. I used to carry mine onto the plane with me without any problem.

I guess that wouldn't work too well these days.

I recently few from Houston to Las Vegas and back with a 4” pocket knife in my purse. It wasn't intentional, I just forgot it was there and the screeners didn't see it. No telling what they would have done to me if they had found it.
