TSA to allow knives on planes

[Monketi Ghost]

Well that's good, the people can all kill each other but the plane will land safely.

Just so long as there are no flight delays, I'm sure everyone can live with that. Except those who board but don't deplane alive that is...

Dont underestimate how much damage a knife with 2 1/2 ' blade can do

Couple years back guy in Atlanta (ex military) was walking home from job as cook when
jumped by gang of teenagers . There were 6 of them, armed with shotgun and handgun

He had a "tactical knife" with blade of about 2 1/2"

Took on whole gang - killed one, severely wounded another at which point gang took off

Were caught by cops

Who was caught? The guy slashing people with a tactical knife I hope ...

Sure, because now having to take the time to distinguish between those knives that are allowed and those that are not is going to make things run much more smoothly.

911 family members and the Flight attendents union are objecting to the new rules

How many of them object to business class and first class providing steak knives?

The first time I flew business class I was shocked.

Knives? What about hockey skates?

Ask Clint Malarchuk. And if you don't know who he is and Google the video, be warned; it's pretty graphic.
