Haha Benman here we go again LMAO.
Tell us what those so called rent a cops should check for and confiscate?
Is not so much what they are confiscating but the fact they are very strict now vs then.
I have no problem with grandma's needles being taken if it means they will catch a similarly shaped ice pick. An xacto knife blade from an altoids tin SK can be duct taped to a spoon handle and you now have a deadly weapon; its not hard to do this stuff.
Not only that the aiports provide a parcel courier service right at security so you can ship your knitting needles home to yourself if you would like. Like everything else the media takes it all out of proportion. You never hear from the media about the 1000's of real weapons found and taken every day at security STILL.
Remeber they killed thousands on 911 with $2 box cutters.
Granny will have to deal.
