I feel safer all ready.

TSA May Loosen Ban on Razorblades, Knives

Any of the changes proposed by the staff, which also would allow scissors, ice picks and bows and arrows on flights, would require Hawley's approval, this official said, requesting anonymity because there has been no final decision
"The process is designed to stimulate creative thinking and challenge conventional beliefs," said Mark Hatfield, TSA's spokesman. "In the end, it will allow us to work smarter and better as we secure America's transportation system."
The Aug. 5 memo recommends reducing patdowns by giving screeners the discretion not to search those wearing tight-fitting clothes. It also suggests exempting several categories of passengers from screening, including federal judges, members of Congress, Cabinet members, state governors, high-ranking military officers and those with high-level security clearances.

ohhhh, did pooky get searched? Did it embarrass baby? How dare they treat republicans just like everybody else?!

I understand trusting that they are tired of being sued by hot chicks in sprayed on jeans, but do we want to trust all those rethuglicans? And why does the flying public need to be allowed to carry any kind of weapon on to an airplane? Knives? wasn't that was started all this? wasn't a stewardness stabbed by a hijacker?
