[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2127290, member: 229"] 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. [/QUOTE]
