Is the 4 inches measured all the way back to the end of the finger holes? Is this arbitrary and according to the agent who is looking?
Welcome to Flyer Talk.
Blade length would usually be measured from the fulcrum to the tip, but with TSA, expect something arbitrary and inconsistent (otherwise known as SSI).
