I get the point. I know the TSA screeners seem to be able to do what they want. I'm not talking about the things that aren't on the list. I'm talking about the things that are clearly banned on the list, yet we get countless threads asking about these. Anything that's not on the list is a personal choice. Each person should weigh the risks and benefits of the items they are taking with them on an aircraft. For example: The TSA list allows you to take a round-bladed, butter knife. Do I carry one? No, just because I want to remain low profile and avoid the possibility of being hassled. When traveling, each person needs to look at the TSA list, what they have in their bags, and decide for themselves what they should and should not carry.
