I flew out of EWR just a few days after the airlines started flying again. The CO check-in stations all had a small poster listing all of the "illegal items." Pool cues were on there...

There were some other ones that were really funny like: ice skates, bullwhips, nail clippers, screwdrivers, ice picks, scissors. For some reason I found the bullwhip to be pretty funny...

Of course, like anything else in aviation security, I am sure that the "rules" were different in Terminal B than Terminal C.

Let's face it, until they stop carrying glass wine bottles, corkscrews, glass beer bottles in the cabin I will be confused as to why I cannot bring a "knife-less" leatherman type tool in my carry-on. I am sure that someone could fashion a rather effective weapon out of a wine bottle. Unfortunately I can't carry a bullwhip to defend myself
