Let me tell you about knives and airports! I had my two inch blade taken from me on a layover in Rota Spain. This was a military flight. I was flying on a C5 galaxy where I could walk down the stairs from the passenger compartment to the cargo bay and get my hands on a M16 but they felt the need to take my two inch pocket knife!! Fast forward 15 years. I went to DC to visit my daughter and we decided to go to the Smithsonian. As usual I had a folding knife in my pocket. I was escorted out at the X-ray machine by FOUR security guards!

I got to Dublin Ireland having flown from SF thru Chicago and switching planes in Chicago. I realized getting off the plane I had the credit card knife in my wallet the hole time. I don’t recommend it and am just lucky I wasn’t caught and prosecuted. DO NOT

At many terminals you are required to take off your shoes. If you have a knife in your boot, guess who's going to find it?

Besides, if you're in danger at a terminal, it will be from some lunatic with a Kalashnikov or an explosive. Your small knife will not be much protection--and I like knives.

A knife cut meat better than a gun. it also cuts rope and many other things. A knife is a good thing to have. Long as you understand it's limitations.

By the way just an Idea of the stuff TSA confiscated . just a sample notice something.

Good luck, and let us know how the trial goes.
I can make you a G-11 knife, that will shave, and deffinately slice a bad guy, and call it a letter opener (G-11 is a layered polymer compound that will not set off a metal detector).
Of course, this letter opener can be any size you want, and I will happily only charge you 200 American dollars for said letter opener.
PM me..

I've surmised that our friend User Name is not from the United States.
Since the TSA and U.S. law only govern U.S. flights, our recommendations might fall a little short.

User Name, what country are you from? You avatar location only says "AT", and that doesn't give me much of a hint.
Perhaps if we knew your country's laws, and airplane restrictions, we could offer more assistance.

Then know the laws where you are. But try to board a with a knife it will not go well for you. You ask you got an answer.

c) pointed or sharp objects - pointed or sharp objects with which
serious injuries can be caused, including:
- Hacking tools, such as axes, axes and chopping knives,
- ice axes and ice axes,
- razor blades,
- Box cutter,
- knives with a blade length over 6 cm,
- scissors with a blade length over 6 cm measured from the hinge,
- Martial arts equipment with a point or sharp edge,
- swords and sabers;


If you already knew you the rules on carrying a knife, why did you ask? ... You can't carry a box cutter but you can carry a knife with a blade less than 2 1/3", I feel safe.

Please don't try that in the US.

Well, maybe a roust and a few years in an American prison might change his mind. And if he is an ethnic, he's going to meet a lot of "Brotherhood" types. All for a cheap weapon he could have bought at the first hardware store he passed leaving the terminal.

Okay, thanks. Tell all your friends in whatever country you're in the good news you've discovered here and to stay home. I don't know if you read the papers, but it costs a lot to ship every alien that breaks our laws to be arrested, processed, hunted down by ICE and fed before we can deport them. You've done your country a great service.

Well, to be honest, you broke the first rule when it comes to breaking rules.

You told everyone in the world on the internet that you were going to break the law on an airplane!

The TSA has your 'net handle, your ISP, other things you've printed on FaceBook, a few frienemies who've already ratted you out for reward money, not to mention the guys on this forum who are already serving time in prison. Heck, the first thing I did here was hack Annie's ISP and found it to be in a Level B Maximum Female Prison in Kentucky.

You're going to jail, and nine people here told you to stop being foolish. Now do you get it?

Now you bring up a question with a 1000 reasons. To some it makes sense to prohibit any knife and a lot of other devices. In 99.9% of the case hajji can stand up with a tiny pocket knife and hijack an aircraft. No one will act they will do as they are told out of fear.
There for knife of any kind is banned on flights. Even finger nail files are taken. This toy monkey was taken by TSA as a banned gun.

Ya' know, Smitty, maybe we should have told him it's perfectly legal and to carry something bigger. It would have been fun to read about his arrest and prison conviction in the newspaper.

Oh, that reminds me, I'd better get a new package out to Annie with some more Toll House Cookies and a few cartons of cigarettes for trading.
