maybe the first thing they should do is get their signage straight - i've been to MANY airports and they have these wonderful little signs that say you CAN have knives so long as the blade is less than 3 inches. PERFECT! I have a cute little PINK swiss army knife whose blade is barely 1.5 inches. I need it when I'm on site, for the scissors (I hate tags in my shirts) and the nail file. I carried it for months in my purse with no issues. Then in charlotte (my home airport where I had taken it through with no issues) they declare that they have to confiscate it. I argued and argued but there's no winning, not even when they saw the signs - I think that they just wanted a pink swiss army knife. They finally agreed to let me mail it home to myself - which they were NOT happy about. The sign is still up, I still argue with them and every other airport TSA agent, but oh well.

That's a surreal blog. Kind of a "human side" to the oppressive government agency. Strange. Thanks for the heads up on this Patricia.
