Of course, in the Air Mall, she could buy a new kit and the nail clipper confiscation "victim" bought another pair in another store.....inside the airport and past security!

Here in Philly they have taken all of the knives -- including the little plasic knives -- out of the secure passenger areas. That includes chef knives and anything that has a blade, no matter what size or implement it's attached to. And the blithering sheeple arew all saying they don't mind as it makes things 'safer'! Get a clue; they still let people through with ballpoint pens.

Ballpoint pens, shoulder straps that could be used as a garrote, rubber chicken in in-flight meals.

The list is endless!

Philly International really never impressed me in the security, though. Most of them seemed to rather be somewhere else than scanning luggage.

The same morons who run the FAA and airport security are the same morons who adminstrate the school system. Why would you expect rationality from a bureaucratic moron?. Why would any rational person expect the new government security guidelines to be followed any better than the previous guidelines?. Sooner or later, people will figure out that the government is the problem, and not the solution.
