[Flask28]

I found this interesting link to what perports to be a list of weapons for the TSA to look out for at the airport.

Great pictures, and some really interesting ideas. Most of them I've seen talked about here, but some I haven't.

I need to go knap myself an obsidian knife.....

Oh, yeah, this thing is hot, an amazing waste of several million dollars.

They missed my ballpoint pen, my teeth, elbows and the crazed look in the eyes......

I wish all terrorists were so stupid as to try to get the shot gun shell knife and bullet knife through airport security.

Been there, talked about that: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=263731

Next time I fly, I think I'll take my cave-man style obsidian hand ax with me.

Idiots they are. Unintelligent, unprofessional, illogical, and insulting to the citizens they distrust and disarm.

On the other hand, while I cannot take a Victorinox Classic smaller than my little finger on board with me, I can and did carry a walking stick over three feet long, and nobody blinked.

Whoever is charge here doesn't know how to play this game.

Oh this thing. They manage to band a microtech and a harley lighter knive as unknown.
Yeah, and a plastic lettuce knive could really do a lot of damange.

Plastic razor blades?

I think they are supposed to be more for scraping.New Plastic Razor Blade Ideal When Steel Blade Is Too Sharp

[Boink]

They don't have my morning breath on the list. Very incomplete list without this WMD.

 

[Practical Use]

List is very incomplete - forgot sharpened finger nails!

Figures. The website say's they're for use "where a steel blade may be too sharp", and that they're "not for cutting". They're marketed for their dullness. Naturally, they're on a list of concealable weapons.
