It seems that the TSA is set to allow certain sharp objects to once again be taken aboard commercial airplanes. Apparently TSA officials feel the time of its limited number of screeners would be better spent searching grandmothers for suicide bombs rather than scissors.
Passengers will also be allowed to carry certain tools with them when boarding. It is still unclear whether tools such as mill bastards, flat bastards or garden variety bastards will be permitted on board. Until the TSA has all its files in order perhaps it would be wise to leave your bastards at home.
