Take note of the part......... "The TSA released a statement saying, "The biggest threat to aviation today, explosives and explosives components. While edge weapons such as swords remain a prohibited item it will not cause catastrophic damage."

Of course we all knew this since hardened cockpits and armed FFDO were put in place. Bob and company will keep bragging and publicizing the sharp objects they find at the CP's to let us know how important their tax payer job is to us. But when a sword gets through, the TSA does a 180 and brushes it off as nothing to brag about----not because it's embarrassing, but because they claim it to be no big deal.

The system worked!!!!!
