[Danke42]

You can fly with one!

Cool. Hopefully the US will revisit the rule at some point.

Cool. I won’t have to confiscate my wife’s Spyderco Ladybug before she flies from Toronto to other places in Canada any more.

Also my tiny Kershaw keychain knife can stay with my keys in my pocket.

Many LOLZ!

Looks like the dragonfly 2 would be ok too.

Hi Danke,

That's what the Roadie was designed for.

Good find!

Logic might yet live! Here's hoping its the start of a trend.

“Box cutters” are still prohibited, but I can bring a Ladybug sharp enough to shave with (or possibly a Dragonfly) on a plane.

Good news, but not that well thought out apparently.

Not gonna happen in the U.S. A few years ago, they were considering allowing passengers to once again fly in the U.S. (and internationally?) with tiny pocketknives (think SAK Classic-sized knives), but there was such an uproar from airline workers and ordinary citizens that they nixed it. Even the idea of tiny, non-locking penknives got a negative reaction from people.

How is it not well thought out? The odds of someone planning on using a keychain knife as a weapon is pretty small. The odds of someone buying a box-cutter to use as a weapon is higher. The fact that it accepts that many people EDC a small blade either on their keys, or in their toiletry kit means less time wasted on something that was never going to make us safer, and more focus on finding bigger things.

James Y, I don't think it was public opinion that canned the new framework in the US, my understanding is that it was all internal TSA.

Frickin right!
Score another one for Canada!

Now I kind of want to get on a plane...

Despite FAR more restrictive laws in general, the UK has allowed flying with small knives for some years now. Only thing is that they measure "blade" as tip to pivot or as the idiot screeners call it "tip to fulcrum". The knives can even be pointy
