tommy2tone_1999 Posted March 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2013 http://www.tsa.gov/pil-sharpobjects I wonder if this applies to cruise ships as well?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmorg Posted March 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Cruiselines do not follow TSA requirements. You could always carry on a knife on Carnival as long as the blade was less than 4 inches. http://www.carnival.com/core/faq.aspx?icid=CC_Footer_88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junglecat Posted March 6, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think it's crazy you can now carry a small knife on board but you still can NOT carry your shampoo! LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy2tone_1999 Posted March 6, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's not crazy when you think of it this way, but it still makes you shake your head. The Administration came out and said that because of the sequester, they will have less TSA agents at airports which will result in longer waits at airports. Now, none of us honestly believes that a TSA agent is going to increase their work effort. They will just find a way to let more people go through the line faster. VOILA! now they let small knives on airplanes. Whenever you try to figure out government reasoning, you have to check your logic in at the door.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaii697 Posted March 6, 2013 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think its ridiculous to allow the sharp objects on carry-ons but not allow larger size of body lotions, body washes, etc. I'd like to write the genius that came up with that idea. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenna1983 Posted March 6, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 6, 2013 They claim it's to be more in line with international flying regulations. While I don't necessarily think you can't survive a flight without your pocket knife but some of the fees to take sports equipment on planes were quite ridiculous. I'd like to think we live in a society where we don't have to worry about a hockey stick coming out as a weapon. Heck, most cost an arm and a leg.

At least that's what I figured based on the people I've seen using them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TThompson05 Posted March 6, 2013 #9 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think it's crazy you can now carry a small knife on board but you still can NOT carry your shampoo! LOL.

bguppies Posted March 6, 2013 #11 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think it's crazy you can now carry a small knife on board but you still can NOT carry your shampoo! LOL. Why do they allow ANY knife or sharp object of ANY size onboard on your person or in carryon luggage is beyond me. My FIL carrys a pocket knife everywhere with him. In 12 years, I have seen him use it twice, to clean under his fingernails....:rolleyes: Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carry a very small swiss army 'type' of knife that was given to me from an airline that I worked with. Very little use, but I just feel like I need it!! Sentimental. Have had 'It' for 30 years and 'Just can't leave home without it' !! Pack it my bags thought when flying.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
