I seem to recall just a couple of months ago the FAA proposed relaxing the rules so that small knives would be legal. Immediately following that, the media reported widespread public condemnation of the proposal by people concerned for their safety.

So as much as I despise this nonsense, this seems to be what a significant, vocal portion of the people want.

I wonder how many of them fly, and how many of them are just afraid that once we allow pocket knives on airplanes, they'll start falling out of the sky onto their heads.



Nice; the change.org link references the Boston Marathon bombing, as if it had any relevance whatsoever to this issue.
