TSA allows some sharp objects

Posted by David Hardy · 30 November 2005 01:15 PM

CNN reports that TSA will Friday announce a rule allowing scissors up to 4" long, and screwdrivers up to 7" long, on airplanes. "

Now if they'd only accept my rule for preventing hijackings:

1. Pilots get .45s.
2. Passengers are encouraged to carry knives. BIG knives.

Any hijacker will be stuck in a plane with 100+ p.o.ed travellers whipping out bowies and K-bars, and a flight crew just waiting for the door to open.

Let us all carry firearms on board.

A diffuse threat, like terrorism, requires a diffuse response, like an armed citizenry.

They should do as Archie Bunker suggested 30 years ago. Give each passenger a gun as they board and collect them as they deplane. Who wants to hijack a plane when you know everyone on board is armed? In some weird way it makes a lot of sense.
