Who can follow TSA's justification for what they decide to do???

So, now you can bring scissors and small knives on the plane, but a lighter is still prohibited. Makes no sense.

TSA must be in the mood for some re-vamping though. A colleague of mine flew into Watertown NY (tiny little airport; I guess they actually close for the night)this past week. All the passengers got off, and then the ones going to the other two stops, Messena and Ogdenburg, just got back on the plane when they were ready to go. No security screening at all. My colleague found it slightly bizarre since it is a commercial flight (US Air Exp). He thought maybe the airport had gone private or something along those lines.
