Sounds like the people who had their stuff wrongly confiscated had idiot TSA people (the norm) who don't know the rules that their own agency is telling people.

I travel with a recent copy of the rules. So far, I've not had a problem.

The rules are there, posted for all to see on the TSA's own website. If you don't believe in them, that's your issue, not mine, and not everyone else's.

Didn't say I didn't "believe" in anything (well, except for the concept of redistribution of wealth.......but that's another discussion). I made an observation, you objected, I gave you real-world evidence (don't have photos or video to prove it, so you'll have to take my word for it). I also don't think you understand why it disturbs me that these same idiots wouldn't confiscate your knitting needles.

To wit............with nail clippers, the worst I could do is give you sore fingers by clipping too closely. I could absolutely kill you .....and quite easily........ with those knitting needles of yours. Good thing I'm just a pussycat; terrorists aren't.
