TSA Guidelines

[therealUT]

I figured I would check the TSA Website to ensure that my cologne bottle was small enough to carry on and I found it interesting that the following are permitted for carry-on baggage:

- Scissors - metal with pointed tips and blades shorter than four inches

- Ice skates

- Tools (seven inches or less in length)

- Screwdrivers (seven inches or less in length)

- Wrenches and pliers (seven inches or less in length)

- Common lighters

- Small compressed gas cartridges

I am pretty sure that if the terrorists initially hijacked the planes on 9/11 with box-cutters one could easily conjure up pretty ingenious ways to hijack planes with these tools.

CO2 cartridge plus a hammer = fun time. Gotta be entertained on a long flight, right?

Looks like #3 is going to keep me off any future flights.

What does this have to do with politics?
