TSA is proposing new rules that allow small knives, ski poles, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks and pool cues aboard in carry-on luggage. They call this a risk-based approach...

But still they hound you to turn off your ipad on takeoff and landing. If the government is using a risk-based approach, this would be the most useful rule to change.

Allowing small knives is the most reasonable thing they've done in recent memory.

They already allow scissors, which are really just two knives pinned together...

Yeah but they both regulate the flying public. They should talk!
