Newsstand - Government may once again ban small scissors on airplanes

You may have to unpack those manicure scissors from your baggage.
Again.
Less than seven months after the Transportation Security Administration reversed its ban on small scissors, screwdrivers and such from passenger cabins on commercial airliners, Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., slipped an amendment into a House bill for the TSA that would make such items verboten again.

Here we are again, giving the TSA more work to look for the little pointy things, rather than spending their time looking for real threats such as explosives. One step forward and two steps back. I hope that Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass is voted out of office as soon as possible.
