Okay, come on, a little emotional over reacting here.
If anyone looses a knife to TSA these days, then I don't believe they deserved to have it in the first place. They sure must not have cared about it to carry it to the airport. Come on, unless you've been living under a rock, everyone pretty much knows NOT TO BRING A KNIFE TO THE AIRPORT. Really simple.
In the years since 9-11, I've flown many times and taken a knife with me every time. I just shove it down in some rolled up socks in my checked bags. I get to the other end, collect my bag from the carousel and stick my knife back in my pocket.
I love that some idiots are still screwing up and loosing their knives, because it lets me pick from some nice knives at the local gun show where a lady always has a big box of TSA confiscated knives. I buy ton's of keychain sak's like classics and ramblers for 2 dollars each for give aways, and I've found a bone handle Case jack and a Buck folder. They were in dirty but good shape needing only a good scrubbing with dish soap and an old toothbrush. Now they are in service again with owners who will care for them. Unlike their former owners.
So many of you guys swearing never to fly anywhere, you're depriving yourself of a lot of great times in interesting locations. Okay, so you can't carry a knife on an airline. In the many times I've flown, I've never been unarmed, and TSA has never even my blackthorn stick, minimag AA flashlight, leather belt with heavy buckle, or Cross pen a second glance.
Yeah, it's a cute little story that sm posted, but when somebody looses a nice knife at the airport, the bozo deserved to lose it. He certainly must not have carried much about it.
