<font color="blue">OH BOY!!! I can bring knives, screwdrivers &amp; scissors on the plane again!!!
I have been jonesin' for this;
I haven't flown since they started checking bags.


I swear these are just for my hobby ...

Oh Yes ... it's a hobby.... really. </font>

I heard that the other day. It ticks me off that they're letting them back on. Nothing like making it easier for the wack-o's to try something. I just flew yesterday to the East coast and everything was fine. I wonder what their reason is for letting us bring them back on board?

Bullit-proof and break-in proof cockpit doors. Hard to hijack a plane when you can't get into the cockpit.
Explosives, on the other hand, are a whole other issue.

knives i dont agree with, but having to throw out moustache scissors, 1 inch blade pocket knives, finger nail clippers etc was a little ridiculous.

While on this general airline/security subject, please allow my comments. With all the technology this country has available.....why do YOU have to be screened at the airport each and every time. Why cant you be in a data base and your name and or S.S. number be allowed more lee way each time you access secure areas. I personally HATE the removing of my shoes each and almost every time.
I hope they get the eye/iris I.D. technology OR your hand/ finger print technology in place soon, so some of this other nonsense can stop.
Do you have any idea the staggering $$$ payroll the TSA
people at airports around the country are bringing down..

Even with these locking cockpit doors it is easy to break into the pilot area. The terrorists that broke into the cockpit of the plane that crashed in PA busted the door open with an industrial size fire extinguisher. To me, that is no different than a police officer, breaking open a door with the cylinder type entry tool used to catch criminals. If there is a will, there is a way. We live a sick world. This is something we should become accustomed to. I have ALWAYS said, better safe, than sorry. While inconvenient, I will always remove my shoes, open my bags numerous times (if need be) and participate in any action the security officer needs. The extra waiting is just to ensure our safety. Nothing we can do.
