I'm not objecting to enforcing the rules. I'm objecting to the much greater digging they did this time than ever before, and declaring a flight-legal Letherman tool as a "small knife". Fortunately, we have relatives over there to mail it back to so I only lost it until our next trip. TSA has examined the very thing and declared it acceptable.
