Yipes!  I don't know about you but I'm a little on the fence about this new update. It's not okay to have sharp items but it is okay to have a small "blades can be no longer than 2.36 inche" (via article)  A few years back my mother forgot a small pair of manicuring scissors in her bag and they confiscated them, can she now travel with them since they are SMALL like the for mentioned blade? Oh wait, the scissors since they might be considered "fixed blade" may not make a come back...."Knives with fixed blades and knives that lock into place will not be allowed on board."*  Will other SMALL items be permitted or just THIS item?  Will we just go back to the way it used to be?

Are we safe with the 2.36 blade being permissible? Hmmmmm....

Well, if you haven't had time to acquaint yourself with the new updates I'll give you a few ideas from the article :

Any knife with a molded grip is also forbidden.*

Box cutters and razor blades will still be banned.*

Novelty baseball bats that are longer than 24 inches but weigh less than 24 ounces will be allowed *


   
    Oh yeah - and sport items like golf clubs can now be brought on! (ummm....where's the room?)


Well folks it's a quick read so run on over to the article and brush up on your do's & don'ts of TSA requirements. buff.ly/WJK9lo
