Perhaps the TSA has just given up trying to keep small sharp objects off of planes seeing as how it would appear the message has not sunk in.
I disagree that "it would appear the message has not sunk in." The "message" was illegitimate from the get-go over four years ago.
IMO, if these objects are found in about 25% of carry-on bags, that shows just how many people don't see the banning of these items as legitimate.
Scaremongers at the TSA and the flight attendant unions can try their hardest to convince us that these items are credible threats, but it looks like people don't universally believe them.
