Well, the knife part is good, I suppose. But only 6cm / 2.26" ?? So I still can't carry a 2.5" knife, but my 7" screwdriver is still okay. Makes sense.
And I'm not sure allowing golf clubs on is a good idea from a overhead-bin-packing standpoint...

It's comforting to see the TSA so concerned with our safety. Now they can spend more time focusing on our very suspicious toothpaste tubes, feeling up grandmothers during full body searches, and throwing coffee on pilots. It is true security theater.

I left my belt on in January at the security station and after they molested me with x-ray radiation, they touched me funny on the stomach. It was weird. I looked the feller in the eye and said, "You're going to grope me now, aren't you?" He was not amused. Luckilly we were like 2.5 hours early and I was feeling frisky.

If they are going to make it awkward for me, then I make it awkward for them.
There has been some discussion about this on various boards. This is basically a change in TSA to fall in-line with the international standards of EU and what not (and they already have stupid-laws regarding knives - small blades with no locks... sound familiar). Apparently when International passengers arrive in the US, they have to go through a bunch of crap if they have items that are allowed internationally, but not in the US. I've heard a number of standards from TSA are going towards matching International standards. I don't view this as a good thing necessarily.
It sucks that locking knives aren't included, but what I find interesting is that there don't seem to be any restrictions on autos (other than the fact that I don't know of an auto that doesn't have a lock).
Looks like I'll be keeping some of my traditionals I was thinking of selling off now - and it might be time to pick up a Spyderco UK Pen Knife or a Spyderco Urban.

You're lucky HE wasn't feeling frisky!
The naked body scanner i went thru on Tuesday revealed I had sunthin in my front right pocket. After turning this pocket inside out I was still frisked. Yep. Nuthin was in there. At least now I'll be able to take my plastic whiffle ball bat with me again!
