When rules are arbitrary and clash with common sense, they are more difficult to remember to follow than rules that do make sense.
So how big do you thing those blades on the box cutters used on 9/11.
If you can not remember please go to the TSA web page and check before each trip
If everybody is "clean" then lines will go much faster.
And i never suggested that all TSA regulations make sense but they exist and we have to leave with them as long as there is those idiots(not to use bad words) trying to kill innocent people everywhere
