The 2013 proposed rule changes by the TSA were never implemented. Chuck Schumer and the airline flight attendants unions complained with the rule being rescinded.

Interesting result from Spyderco who designed the Roadie knife to comply with the rules since none of their existing line complied.
With the TSA, there is often a difference between the rules and the practice. I've flown at least 3 times round trip, so 6 times going through security, with the Swiss Army knife in my purse, and neither TSA nor Dutch or British airport security reacted to it. YMMV.
