It looks like the new TSA rules slated to begin on Dec.22nd will allow tools (with limitations). Screwdrivers, wrenches and pliers will be allowed (with size limitations).
I'll believe it when I see it on TV news. I wanna see one of those blow-dried anchors clear security carrying a knife of any kind in their hand, perhaps putting a SAK Classic into the plastic bin thing. Then maybe I'll start believing. Until then, it's just urban legend to me.
