hso, it was dsvirsky who told me pointed to this site. I used to work at the Savannah River Site, a DOE defense site, they make tritium there, and they state in one of their rule books that no knives over 2 1/2" are allowed. Also know calculators with a small amount of memory were allowed either but that's another story.
I now work at a NASA site and things are alot looser here but if you were searched and the guards were aware of the law I think it would stand unless you could prove that it was necessary for you to do you job. Example, the electricians here carry and use knives that exceed the limit.
Personally, I doubt that the security here even know about this law. I have not seen anyone searched. I think the NRA lawyers interpretation of the law is incorrect. To my knowlege if you comit a crime and have a knife of any size on you (concealed) you can be charged with a concealed weapons charge.
Thats the way it is where I live.
