TSA established a committee to review the prohibited items list based on an overall risk-based security approach. After the review, TSA Administrator John S. Pistole made the decision to start allowing the following items in carry-on bags beginning April 25th:

• Small Pocket Knives – Small knives with non-locking blades smaller than 2.36 inches and less than 1/2 inch in width will be permitted
• Small Novelty Bats and Toy Bats
• Ski Poles
• Hockey Sticks
• Lacrosse Sticks
• Billiard Cues
• Golf Clubs (Limit Two)

This is part of an overall Risk-Based Security approach, which allows Transportation Security Officers to better focus their efforts on finding higher threat items such as explosives. This decision aligns TSA more closely with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards.

These similar items will still remain on the prohibited items list:

• Razor blades and box cutters will remain prohibited in carry-on luggage.
• Full-size baseball, softball and cricket bats are prohibited items in carry-on luggage.

Visit TSA.gov for more information on small knives permitted in carry-on luggage and sporting equipment permitted in carry-ons. Again, please note these changes are effective April 25, 2013.

I remember flying as a child and the TSA didn't allow me to bring a squirt gun onto the airplane, lol. This was before 9/11.


Oh, and the pocket knives part is retarded, but I guess you do need something a little stronger than this to get into the cockpit nowadays. I'm surprised at most of the rest of that list ever being banned, though

[Blubbartron]

Pocket knives are cool, but razor blades? Nope, fuck them.

[Churchill]

almost none of those knives should kill you in a situation where someone can tourniquet or put pressure on your bleeding. the other ones will though.

What the hell are you going to do with 2 golf clubs?

What the hell are you doing with carry-on golf clubs.

Let me know when they stop confiscating sealed wine bottles.

[Blubbartron]

Also, I'd love to see the midget that's capable of getting a good swing with *ANYTHING* larger than a mini "novelty" baseball bat. The average airplane is too fucking small for large bludgeoning weapons to be dangerous (golf clubs included).

THIS! I lost a bottle of wine bringing it back from Atlanta. They told me to either check it or lose it. Last I looked, red wine and clothing in the same bag together being handled by I-don't-give-a-fuck baggage handlers was a recipe for disaster.

I've checked them many times, wine bottles are very durable - just wrap them up in your clothes. It just sucks when you don't have a bag to check.

shit yeah, can bring my hockey stick now. I approve of the changes, if a whole plane of people manage to get hijacked by a guy with a flip blade attached to his nail clippers, they all deserve to be flown into a building anyways.

Hackey stick confirmed for Evo?

[Callisto]

if they make those EVO hockey jerseys again

[miokomioko]

6cm long and 1/2in wide. PICK A SYSTEM.

[Not Kuno]

The look on my face when I realized they allowing more things. Unheard of! Followed by the look on my face when they allow stupid shit instead of anything useful.

Here's hoping they allow toothpaste or water bottles. Ahahaha who the fuck am I kidding. Nobody travels with that sort of shit.

[archibaldcrane]

You can take toothpaste on an airplane, it just has to be small.

That's interesting considering the TSA was created post-9/11.
