TSA Will Soon Allow Small Knives Back on Flights

Maybe soon we'll be able to bring on liquids again

The Transportation Security Administration announced Tuesday that U.S. airline passengers will soon be allowed to carry small knives in their carry-on bags, a move that prompted swift condemnation from a flight attendants union. 

The union for Southwest Airlines flight attendants called the decision "dangerous" and "designed to make the lives of TSA staff easier, but not make flights safer." 

The changes were made public by TSA Administrator John Pistole during an aviation conference in New York.
